Summary:
This paper proposes a newly designed shaped beam antenna in order to reduce inter-sector interference by adopting the antenna beam shaping technique. The proposed shaping technique allows the antenna to maintain the 3 dB main beam width that is comparable with the conventional one. Furthermore, the antenna beam gain in the direction toward the edge region neighboring the other sectors of the horizontal antenna pattern can be reduced. In Section 2, the detailed structure of the proposed shaped beam antenna is presented. The results of the computer simulation and measured antenna pattern are indicated in Section 3. In conclusion, a summary of this paper is briefly described.
