E-plane omni-directional antenna is described. In an embodiment, a
transmission signal connection system includes a center conductive rod to
communicate a radio frequency transmission signal, and includes one or
more outer conductive rods that each provide a grounded return for the
radio frequency transmission signal and shield the center conductive rod.
The center conductive rod and the one or more outer conductive rods also
couple a first antenna element to at least a second antenna element, and
the center conductive rod couples the first antenna element and the at
least second antenna element to the radio frequency transmission signal.
Each antenna element includes coplanar waveguide dipoles that generate an
e-field transmission which are combined to form an E-plane
omni-directional transmission pattern.
