PCTEL's 5-port base station omnidirectional antenna (BOA) is designed for fixed public and private LTE and industrial IoT network deployments.
To illustrate the GO shaping technique described in Section 2, the first case study is an ADE-like configuration designed with uniform amplitude distribution ([G.sub.A] = cte.) over the conical aperture, in order to increase the directivity of the omnidirectional antenna. The feed is a TEM coaxial horn with its radiation pattern described in [8] and modelled as follows in the present synthesis procedure:
The manufactured antenna, whose measured gain pattern is depicted in Figure 9, has about 3 dBi gain variation in this plane, which is still acceptable for an omnidirectional antenna.

Two antenna patterns are taken into consideration, which are omnidirectional antenna and directional antenna with switching-beam.
It uses an omnidirectional antenna only briefly, and once it picks up a signal, switches over to directed beams aimed at the user's device.
This rugged omnidirectional antenna is designed for exceptional reliability in machine-to- machine (M2M) industrial wireless applications.
