Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for configuring and operating an antenna system. In accordance with various embodiments, the disclosed system and methods utilize amplitude tapering of an antenna array to reduce side lobe levels while optimizing main lobe gain. An antenna array is configured to increase a gain differential by reducing side lobe amplitude. The array of radiating elements is arranged to have a majority of elements at the center of the array with fewer elements on the edges.
