Abstract
This paper discusses the advantages and an example of using shaped elevation patterns for 5G base stations. A simple iterative power synthesis method involving the phase of shaped patterns, and suitable for both center- and end-fed sub-arrays, is used. Numerical simulations and some experimental results for an array of linear sub-arrays with cosecant squared patterns are presented to validate the concept.
