1. A method for ensuring a uniform radiation pattern of an assembly comprising:

  • a monopole antenna, anda radome with an aerodynamic profile, inside which said monopole antenna is positioned,wherein the method comprises;

    determining the radiation pattern of said antenna/radome assembly;

    determining the directions, about the axis of said monopole antenna positioned inside said radome, in which said radiation pattern of the antenna/radome assembly has areas in which the gain values are reduced in comparison with the radiation pattern of said monopole antenna; and

    modifying the surface of said monopole antenna, to form on it a protruding longitudinal ridge that is at least approximately facing at least one of said areas of reduced gain thus determined.
