Systems and methods for reducing signal radiation in an unwanted direction
Abstract:
An antenna system that can reduce signal radiation in an unwanted direction while preserving signal radiation outside of the unwanted direction is provided. The antenna system can include a signal input source with a main antenna and a secondary antenna each electrically coupled to the signal input source. The main antenna can transmit a primary signal to produce a primary radiation pattern in response to a first portion of energy from the signal input source, and the secondary antenna can transmit a secondary signal to produce a secondary radiation pattern in response to a second portion of energy from the signal input source. The secondary signal can be amplitude modified and phase shifted to position the secondary radiation pattern to cancel out or reduce a portion of the primary radiation pattern extending in an unwanted direction while substantially preserving portions of the primary radiation pattern outside of the unwanted direction.
