Abstract

At present, the systems of mobile communications demand major capacity in the services, therefore optimum space diversity is needed. In this paper, we propose a new method of beam–forming to improve the space diversity and achieve frequency reuse. Our proposal consists in solving a system of linear equations from an 8–elements linear antenna array that increases the size of the side lobes. This method is compared with the algorithm of Dolph–Chebyshev. Our method shows competitive results in increasing the space diversity.

Key words: Beamforming, Space diversity, Linear antenna array, Dolph–Chebyshev.
