element arrangement makes possible a radiation pattern 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. 2-12
