Modular high-gain antennas (pdf)

Abstract:
In this paper we introduce the concept of modular high-gain antennas, which is based on allowing narrower elevation beamwidths than in conventional base station antennas to improve the antenna gain. We discuss potential issues of narrow beam antennas in real networks and present a robust solution suitable for macro-site installation. Finally, the performance of a modular high-gain antenna is verified in a field trial.
