© 2017 Euraap. The design of a wideband, vertically polarized omnidirectional dipole antenna based on a non-uniformly segmented structure is presented. The proposed non-uniformly segmented configuration mitigates the phase change of the currents flowing in the long dipole arms, so that the reverse currents which deteriorate the radiation pattern can be avoided, and a stable omnidirectional pattern can be maintained over a wide frequency band. Simulation results show that the proposed dipole has a wide pattern bandwidth of 66%, ranging from 1.96 GHz to 3.90 GHz, with S11 less than -10 dB. Within the band, the main lobe of the dipole remains in the broadside direction in the E-plane and the antenna achieves the desirable omnidirectional radiation pattern, with a gain flatness of less than 0.3 dB in the H-plane.
