  • Abstract
    A graph describing the directivity of an omnidirectional antenna versus the half-power elevation-plane beamwidth is presented. This data has been calculated assuming a sin/sup n/ theta elevation-plane pattern. A closed-form curve-fitted approximation for this relationship is also presented.<>
