Abstract
An antenna producing a quasi-omni radiation pattern. The antenna includes at least three main panels, each having a plurality of radiating elements thereon, disposed in one or more columns of elements. The main panels are disposed in a substantially circular arrangement to generate the quasi-omni radiation pattern. At least one null filling panel is disposed between every two consecutive main panels of the at least three main panels, directed towards a null in the quasi-omni radiation pattern between the two consecutive main panels. The null filling panel has at least a single column of elements that radiate a null filling signal that is substantially the same signal as a signal from elements from the two adjacent main panels.
