Abstract :
Many cities around the world are seeing the introduction of multiple mobile radios systems. Operating at different frequencies, the base station antennas of different systems are often installed in the same buildings, so narrow antennas are required to make installation easier. This paper proposes a novel antenna configuration which produces two beams and yields antennas that are very slender. Beam designing techniques and antenna performance are also shown. Actual design examples for 6 sector zone use are also shown.<>
