Abstract :
In this paper we propose a horizontally polarized antenna with omni-directivity in horizontal plane. Ripple coefficient of the radiation pattern in horizontal plane improve to ±0.1 dB. The theory of characteristic modes is used to analyze why the omni-directivity property of the proposed antenna increased comparing with that before optimization.
