Abstract
An antenna, radiating an omnidirectional power pattern comprising: a spherical structure having a plurality of antennas and one or more inputs, the plurality of antennas being configured in an array and attached to the surface of the spherical structure; and the one or more inputs are electrically coupled to a distribution, the distribution being configured to distribute a first current and a second current to each antenna.

An antenna, radiating an omnidirectional power pattern comprising:
- a spherical structure having a plurality of antennas and one or more inputs, the plurality of antennas arranged in an array and attached to a surface of the spherical structure;
- and
- the one or more inputs electrically coupled to a distribution, the distribution distributing a first current and a second current to each antenna of the plurality of antennas.
A conformal antenna array, radiating an omnidirectional power pattern comprising:
- a contoured structure having a plurality of antennas and one or more inputs, the plurality of antennas arranged to conform and attach to a surface of the contoured structure forming an array;
- and
- the one or more inputs electrically coupled to a distribution, the distribution distributing a first current and a second current to each antenna of the plurality of antennas.
A method of omnidirectionally radiating electromagnetic power comprising:
- providing one or more antennas, wherein the one or more antennas form an antenna array in the shape of a contoured volume or surface;
- providing one or more electric current densities;
- distributing, by a distribution network, the one or more electric current densities to feed each of the one or more antennas a first current density and a second current density, wherein the first current is Kθ(r, t)={tilde over (K)}0 cos(wt±Φ) and the second current is K101 (r,t)=±{tilde over (K)}0 cos(θ)sin(wt±Φ), and wherein the electric current density rotates azimuthally around a surface of the contoured volume or surface, wherein at any fixed spatial location r on the surface of the sphere, the orthogonal {circumflex over (θ)}(θ, Φ) and {circumflex over (Φ)}(Φ) components of K(r,t) are π/2 radians out of phase;
- and
- radiating, by the antenna array, a cumulative power pattern proportional to 1+cosine2(θ).
