Ommidirectional in azimuth plane antennas with horizontal polarization are used in communication systems of McWILL standard, digital television systems of DVB-T2 standard, radio monitoring systems, semi-active ranging using the target illumination with the television broadcast signal, and many other cases. In many cases, radar and radio monitoring systems use phase methods to determine the azimuth and elevation angle of the target. To view all azimuthal angles, ring arrays consisting of omnidirectional emitters, usually also represented by ring arrays, are used. This paper studies the characteristics of an omnidirectional radiating element of electrically small horizontal dipole elements. An expression is derived that relates the radius of the dipole ring array to the number of dipoles and the variation of the resulting radiation pattern. The results are confirmed by experimental studies.
