The most popular fm broadcast antennas use a transmission line "backbone" joined with EIA RS-225 flanged junctions and are end or center fed. Element spacing is usually one-wavelength (ten feet) but sometimes is one-half to eliminate the end-fire mode of phase addition, lessening downward radiation.
When the antenna is mounted on the side of narrow pole or small cross-section tower, this portion often resembles a circular pattern, but as the tower width increases, very strange patterns may result, sometimes with minimum radiation in the direction of antenna mounting.
In the case of a tapered tower section typical of large self-supporting towers, the effect of the sloping tower adjacent to the plumb antenna may cause unpredicted beam tilt, skewing the vertical pattern so much that the energy is no longer directed toward the horizon.
