present invention relates to a device for receiving transmitting electromagnetic waves with omnidirectional radiation of the type comprising a first set of means for receiving transmitting waves with longitudinal radiation of the printed antenna type the said means being arranged in order to receive a wide azimuthal sector and at least a second means for receiving transmitting waves with transverse radiation of the printed antenna type the second means having radiation complementary to the radiation of the first means and means capable of connecting in emission the said first and second wave receiving transmitting means the invention is especially applicable to domestic networks application_number US 15266502 A description in order to simplify the description in the figures the same elements bear the same references 0024 fig4 shows schematically a compact antenna of the type described in french patent application no 98 13855 and comprising a feed line as described in french patent application no 00 15715 in order to receive over an azimuthally wide sector the means for receiving transmitting longitudinal radiation in this case consist of four printed slot antennas 100 a 100 b 100 c 100 d made on the same substrate 100 and regularly spaced about a central point 101 the four antennas being positioned perpendicularly to each other on the common substrate as shown schematically in fig4 the slot antennas comprise a slot line which flares progressively from the centre 101 towards the outside of the structure so as to form an antenna of the vivaldi type the structure and the performance of the vivaldi antenna are well known to a person skilled in the art and are described in particular in the documents u201c ieee transactions on antennas and propagations u201d by s prasad.
