The omni directional antenna is an antenna system that radiates power uniformly in all directions. The only 3 dimensional omni directional antenna is the isotropic antenna, a hypothetical construct derived from actual antenna radiation patterns and used as a suggestion for specifying antenna gain and radio system effective radiated power. Practical antennas approach omni directionality by providing uniform radiation or reaction only in one reference plane generally the horizontal one parallel to the earth's surface. Common omni directional antennas are the belt antenna, a vertically orientated dipole antenna, the discoing antenna and the horizontal loop antenna. An omni-directional antenna broadcasts in all orders, outward from the antenna. So only one part of the signal reaches the receiver, the rest is just sent out into space. The idea is easy to understand if used a picture of a fountain.
Work of omni antenna:
Omni-directional antennas are used in many applications but until nomad, they were the only way a moving automaton could send information. Nomad uses an omni-directional antenna to send and receive low-level communications, like commands. It cannot use this antenna to send complex pictures from the panospheric camera because it cannot send enough information rapidly enough with it. But the omni-directional antenna is still the robots major communication for basic tasks.
Wide discursion:
Omni-directional antennas are generally used for point-to-multipoint network. They increase the transmitting power, receiving sensitivity in one plane at the expense of the same in another. To imagine what happens when one attach an omni-directional antenna, start with a stock base station. A stock base station has an isotropic transmitter or receiver built into it. Tentatively, if ABS is suspended in a three-dimensional space that the coverage would resemble a sphere with the ABS at its middle. Enter the sphere and one can get coverage, exit it and there will be no coverage. In certainty, the limitations of antenna design, intervention. Generally result in somewhat less uniform coverage. An omni-directional antenna will mainly compress the sphere. So, as the range in one flat is increased, the range in another will suffer. The gain of omni-directional antennas is usually specified in the horizontal and the vertical planes. While the horizontal coverage increases with the gain of the antenna and the vertical coverage decreases.
