Omnidirectional antenna for cellular radio Item: 11085_OD

An omnidirectional antenna has an even radiation pattern horizontally in all directions. That means it has a horizontal opening angle of 360°. Therefore it is often used for rotating or mobile applications. Tilt refers to the shifting of the vertical opening angle of an omnidirectional antenna in a specific direction, related to the horizontal level. The image above shows a vertical opening angle of 40° with a tilt of 20°. This means the vertical opening angle has shifted 20° upwards.
