Abstract

The wide inter-sector coverage overlapping and side-lobes of the antennas´ radiation in mobile communications result in irregular handover and unwanted interference in addition to the waste of power. A wave guiding technique based on the applications of resistive plates is presented to reduce the interference and enhance the performance by guiding the wasted power to where strong signals are required
