For planar structure like thin film, it is unifrom in a plane, for example in xy pane. In such case, a dipole polarized along x and y will have the same radiation, since they "see" the structure the same. That said, for 90 deg rotation symmetry of the structure, the dipoles will behave the same. I hope this helps.
