Abstract :
In this paper we propose a horizontally polarized antenna with omni-directivity in horizontal plane to use for reference antenna. Ripple coefficients of the radiation pattern in horizontal plane improve to ±0.1 dB. The theory of characteristic modes is used to analyze and illustrate the reason of the excellent omni-directivity property of the proposed antenna.
