3 unusual facts about omnidirectional


Omnidirectional

Omnidirectional antenna, an antenna that radiates equally in all directions

Mecanum wheel, a specially designed wheel that allows movement in any direction, such as that used by many robots in the RoboCup Small Size League

Omnidirectional treadmill, a treadmill that allows a person to walk in any direction without moving


Radiation pattern

These axially symmetric antennas have radiation patterns with a similar symmetry, called omnidirectional patterns; they radiate equal power in all directions perpendicular to the antenna, with the power varying only with the angle to the axis, dropping off to zero on the antenna's axis.
