Abstract :
In this work, an omnidirectional loaded genetic antenna was created that operates from 500 MHz to 2 GHz and receives vertical, horizontal, LHCP and RHCP-polarized signals with less than 10 dB of difference at the horizon. The antenna was built and tested, and was found to match well with predictions.
