Abstract
An antenna system comprising a plurality of dipole elements and a single support formed from a single piece of material. The plurality of dipole elements is attached to a reflector plate and forms horizontally or vertically stacked radiation elements. Tabs centrally located between the support and the dipole elements are bent at an angle to form a symmetrical axis in the center of a slot formed by the plurality of dipole elements to attenuate the radiation caused by current flowing around the slot. The plurality of dipole elements are selected to achieve different radiation patterns and can be formed into different shapes to achieve different lobe shapes.
