FM Goalkeeper, a Quasi-Omni [accidental] variation of the Quad-Trapezoid+Spurs with Horizontal Polarization was analyzed using 4nec2.
FM Band Raw Gain = 2.4 to 3.1 to 2.7 dBi (Forward & Rear) and SWR (300-ohms) under 2.7 (Excellent). Beamwidth = 100-110 degrees.
Provides Bi-Directional Pattern firmly aligned along the X-Axis with wide Beamwidth and NULLs to the sides. Although Horizontally Polarized, it also provides both Right-Hand and Left-Hand Circular Polarization, but with only 1 dB LHCP suppression.
