Abstract
Antennas for millimeter wave distributed antenna systems or indoor radio systems are disclosed. According to one aspect, an antenna system is configured to provide a static composite radiation pattern, the static composite radiation pattern having a static broadside radiation pattern and a static off-center-axis radiation pattern. The antenna system includes a first antenna element configured to provide the static broadside radiation pattern, the static broadside pattern encompassing a broadside direction. The antenna system also includes a plurality of additional antenna elements configured in proximity to the first antenna element to provide a static off-broadside radiation pattern, the combination of the static broadside radiation pattern and the static off-broadside radiation pattern providing the static composite radiation pattern. A beamformer is configured to feed the first antenna element and the plurality of additional antenna elements to produce the static off-broadside radiation pattern.
