An antenna device (2) includes a conducting base (3), an elongate
conducting element (7) coupled to and extending from the conducting base
and a parasitic conductor (9) connected to and extending from the conducting
base. The device is configured to provide in operation in a plurality of frequency
bands omnidirectional radiation patterns in two mutually orthogonal planes (x-y;
x-z). The radiation of these patterns may conveniently have the same polarization.
