Abstract :
A conical quad-mode antenna excited through four orthogonal transverse electromagnetic modes is presented. The radiation characteristics of each mode are validated through measurements, illustrating the complimentary nature of the four far-field radiation patterns through which near-hemispherical field-of-view coverage can be achieved.
