antenna
In radio communication, an
omnidirectional antenna is a class of
antenna which radiates radio wave power
uniformly in all directions in one plane,
with the radiated power decreasing with
elevation angle above or below the plane,
dropping to zero on the antenna's axis.
This radiation pattern is often described as
"doughnut shaped". Note that this is
different from an isotropic antenna, which
radiates equal power in all directions and
has a "spherical" radiation pattern.
Omnidirectional antennas oriented
vertically are widely used for
nondirectional antennas on the surface of
the Earth because they radiate equally in
all horizontal directions, while the power
radiated drops off with elevation angle so
little radio energy is aimed into the sky or
down toward the earth and wasted.
Omnidirectional antennas are widely used
for radio broadcasting antennas, and in
mobile devices that use radio such as cell
phones, FM radios, walkie-talkies, wireless
computer networks, cordless phones, GPS
as well as for base stations that
communicate with mobile radios, such as
police and taxi dispatchers and aircraft
communications.
