I was doing a thought experiment with this and
when it's completely "flattened out", (180 degrees between the booms),

I think a bow tie's design is actually motivated more by one of the "standard"
ultra-wideband antenna designs, that of a pair of opposing cones touching each
other at their narrow ends, being translated down into 2D.
