Abstract
The present subject matter relates to antenna systems, devices, and methods that are designed to avoid the degradation of the end-fire radiation pattern of the array when a piece of metal is added obstructing the direction of the main beam. A parasitic radiator is positioned in proximity to the blocking structure and configured to couple at least part of the reflected radiation pattern and radiate toward the desired end-fire direction.
