1. An antenna system for broadcasting, comprising:
- an aerial array consisting of a half-wavelength passive middle aerial flanked by two end-fed half-wavelength radiating outer aerials in a common vertical plane mounted over ground; and
supply means connected to said outer aerials for energizing same with oscillations of substantially identical frequency and amplitude, each of said outer aerials being separated from said middle aerial by a distance substantially corresponding to a quarter wavelength of said oscillations.

Abstract
An antenna system for broadcasting comprises a coplanar array of three vertical aerials spaced a quarter wavelength apart, the middle aerial serving as a passive reflector while the outer two are concurrently energized with currents of equal amplitude and frequency in phase or in phase opposition with each other. The resulting radiation pattern is circular in the first instance; in the second case the pattern is generally hourglass-shaped and bisected by the common plane of the aerials.
