Abstract
A novel application of shaped radiation patterns in wireless communications is described to improve coverage planning which occurs potential problems when conventional base-station antennas are used. In particular, a simple antenna design arisen from the implementation of a Yagi antenna is developed to produce the required shaped beams in a cost and implementation effective fashion. Numerical examples, validated by experimental measurements, are presented to demonstrate the proposed concepts.
