A pattern with broad beamwidth maruwas multifilar antennas offer a broader angle of reception than patch antennas. If the antenna had a 100% radiation efficiency, all directivity would be converted to gain. From the radiation pattern, it can be easily said that the designed antenna produces omnidirectional radiation and almost. By loading four cylinders which are perpendicular to the substrate of the microstrip antenna near the edge of a circular patch, broad beamwidth is achieved.
The radiation pattern of this antenna is bidirectional and right angles to the plane. The radiation pattern is relatively narrow for a simple antenna, which makes patch antennas desirable for assembly into arrays.
