Abstract
A multi-beam antenna for a wireless communication network, a method of creating cells for a wireless communication network with a multi-beam antenna held aloft by an aeronautical vehicle and a wireless infrastructure. The multi-beam antenna projects: (1) a first antenna beam to create a first cell upon a generally circular first terrestrial area below the multi-beam antenna and (2) a second antenna beam to create a second cell upon a generally circular second terrestrial area below the multi-beam antenna, the first cell having a smaller radius than, and substantially concentric with, the second cell.
