  • Abstract
    This paper presents a novel basestation antenna system capable of dynamically reconfiguring its azimuth beamwidth. Simulation and theoretical results show that by switching the PIN diodes´ states, the azimuth beamwidth can be reconfigured from narrow (60o) to wide angle (90o). Such a design is suitable for trading cell average and cell edge throughput requirements in real time to benefit the QOS of edge users.
