element arrangement makes possible a radiation pat-
tern resembling that of a vertically-polarized,
omnidirectional antenna. Construction and installation
of this antenna is complex because of the physical
relationships between the individual elements and the
requirement for a separate transmission line for each
dipole. Approximately 2.2 acres of land are required
to accommodate the quadrant antenna.
