Abstract :
The side-mounted antenna array is becoming increasingly popular as a television antenna. An efficient and economical radiator for the purpose is the zig-zag panel antenna. The V-Z panel is a zig-zag antenna that is modified to produce a broader horizontal pattern. With the technique of panel skewing, practical omnidirectional arrays can be built with only three V-Z panels properly mounted around a large tower.
