Abstract
The present invention comprises a substantially omnidirectional antenna with minimal gain variation over the 360 degree azimuth. A plurality of biconical antenna elements are stacked, wherein a feed line passes through the center of the biconical antenna elements. The feed line is designed to provide the proper quantity of power to each biconical antenna element without the use of a power divider. Each biconical antenna element is formed by two truncated flared apart reflecting surfaces. Each biconical antenna element is attached to a nonconductive collar above and below.
