Abstract :
Multi-Beam antenna arrays, made by H-plane waveguides with 4, 8 and 12 elements are proposed for cellular base stations. Simulated and experimental results show the beam directions, the gains, the side lobes and the overlapping between close elements, within the requirements for such products (very low loss, high power capability and flexibility in dimensions, in side lobes and in overlapping levels).
