1. An antenna comprising:
a plurality of conducting elements each conductive element spaced equidistantly from each other, each conductive element on a circumference around a center axis of the antenna;
wherein one or more of the conductive elements is an electrically connected element and
wherein one or more of the conductive elements is a non-electrically connected element and
wherein a number of electrically connected and of a number of non-electrically connected elements are equal;
a central feed system electrically connecting each electrically connected element to a central point and
wherein the central feed system is connected to a transmission line; and
a non-conductive cover encapsulating the antenna. |
