Abstract
An antenna system and method using a folded panel antenna system with a bow-tie slot formed therein is arranged about a tower to provide greater azimuthal beamwidth coverage with increased gain. A groundplane is positioned to the rear of the folded panel, wherein a stripline feed is utilized for exictation of the antenna. A skewed parasitic dipole is attached to the front of the bow-tie slot to generate orthogonal field components for circular and/or ellipitic polarizations.
