Abstract :
The aim of this communication is to present the synthesis procedure of an hour-glass antenna in order to obtain sector beams with cosecant-squared far-field power elevation pattern. This antenna is able to produce a number of sectorial and reconfigurable beams which satisfy the radiation pattern envelope (RPE) in the ETSI standard.
