Abstract :
A new type of antenna, the omnidirectional polyrod shaped beam antenna with a shaped-beam radiation pattern in elevation is presented. It is based on the typical polyrod antenna, which can have a shaped beam realized by the appropriate physical shaping of the radiating polyrod. The antenna can be used as an airborne omnidirectional radiator with a requested sectoral coverage.
