Linear Array Design with Switched Beams for Wireless Communications Systems

Figure 10

Gain patterns for the analyzed scenarios: linear arrays of 2, 4, and 8 elements. All patterns were synthesized with below the main beam.

(a) 2 antennas, 2 beams (1 bit)

(b) 2 antennas, 4 beams (2 bits)

(c) 4 antennas, 2 beams (1 bit)

(d) 4 antennas, 4 beams (2 bits)

(e) 4 antennas, 8 beams (3 bits)

(f) 8 antennas, 2 beams (1 bit)

(g) 8 antennas, 4 beams (2 bits)

(h) 8 antennas, 8 beams (3 bits)

(i) 8 antennas, 16 beams (4 bits)
