  • Abstract
    Three sector antennas for cellular communications in the S band, with 60°, 90° and 120° beam widths in the horizontal plane, have been designed, built and measured. A 16-element array has been designed, using a planar multi-layer configuration with patches coupled through slots. The structural configuration, low-cost materials and the same feeding system used in the three antennas make the proposed design very attractive for practical implementation. Measurement results of the three prototypes are presented
