Can anybody provide me with an idealised formula that describes the radiation pattern of an omnidirectional dipole antenna?
In particular I am interested in the formula that creates a plot similar to the following:
Note: I am looking for a simplified closed-form equation, not a full field simulation.

The antenna you describe is "omnidirectional" only in the xy-plane; it has zero radiation along the z-axis. Thus, your dipole is mounted vertically; i.e., x=0 and y=0 for all segments.
According to Antennas by John Kraus, the far E-field for a center-fed $lambda/2$ dipole in free space is:
$$E = fraccosleft(piover 2costhetaright)sintheta$$
In the case of a vertically mounted antenna, $theta$=0 at the horizon of the plot.
