   Omnidirectional antenna. In radio communication, an omnidirectional antenna is a class of antenna which radiates equal radio power in all directions perpendicular to an axis (azimuthal directions), with power varying with angle to the axis (elevation angle), declining to zero on the axis. [1][2] When graphed in three dimensions (see graph) this ...

   In the ground plane antenna style whip antenna, the "plane" consists of several wires ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ λ long radiating from the base of a quarter-wave whip antenna. The radio waves from an antenna element that reflect off a ground plane appear to come from a mirror image of the antenna located on the other side of the ground plane.
