Abstract
Omni-directional, horizontally polarized antennas are provided. According to one aspect, an omni-directional, horizontally polarized antenna includes a first reflector and a second reflector separated from the first reflector. Disposed between the first and second reflectors are a planar array of radially directed horizontally polarized antenna elements and a planar feed network configured to feed the antenna elements of the planar array. A coaxial feed structure configured to communicate electrical signals to or from the feed network is provided.
