An omnidirectional dual-shaped reflector antenna

Abstract

A dual-shaped reflector antenna with an omnidirectional pattern and vertical polarization is presented. A radial-mode conical feed illuminates a rotationally symmetric dual-shaped reflector system able to drive the main beam in a nearly horizontal direction and able to control both the main lobe direction and its pattern. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
