Optimizing Signal Coverage in the Azimuth Plane of Conformal Microstrip Antennas by Widening their Sectorial Beamwidths

摘要

New broadband data exchange applications are often characterized with a desire to use antennas generating a few sectorial beams. For such applications we have studied various multi-beam, dual-band and dual-polarized conformal antennas. The paper compares performance of two quite different cylindrical antenna designs, each generating four beams in the azimuth plane.
