Isotropic radiator is a hypothetical source radiating power equally in all directions. An omnidirectional antenna radiates uniformly in all azimuth directions but has a deep null in the orthogonal elevation direction. Array factor is the radiation pattern of a collection of isotropes placed on the element centres and fed with the same amplitudes and phases as are applied to the actual elements of the array.
