Figure 35. Radiation pattern of dipole (half-wave) antenna.
(c) By looking at figure 35, you can see that the antenna can
be mounted either vertically or horizontally. The radiation patterns
are similar.
The difference is that a horizontal antenna radiates
horizontally in two directions, while a vertical antenna radiates
horizontally in all directions.
Figure 36 indicates the beam width
and relative power patterns.
