Claim 0:
1. An antenna system comprising:
two arrays of horizontally polarized radiating elements and two arrays of vertically polarized radiating elements, each array having a roughly 180-degree radiation pattern, disposed about a central axis in a common horizontal plane, arrays of common polarization separated by 180 degrees, the horizontally polarized radiating elements comprising a plurality of slot elements and the vertically polarized radiating elements comprising a plurality of dipole elements, each of the plurality of slot elements and each of the plurality of dipole elements comprising a metallic radiating material electrically coupled to a trace, each of the plurality of slot elements having a substantially T-shaped configuration, each of the plurality of dipole elements comprising a line of division, the line of division being a surface area absent metallic radiating material disposed on each of the plurality of dipole elements, the line of division separating adjacent radiating portions; and
at least one printed circuit board body forming a saw tooth pattern, the plurality of slot elements and the plurality of dipole elements being disposed on the at least one printed circuit board body, wherein uniform coverage in both vertical and horizontal polarization over 360 degrees is provided using beamforming and polarization diversity.
