A conventional antenna array pattern design is based on the amplitude of the radiation pattern, as the angular phase properties of the radiation pattern are generally not considered interesting. This paper discusses a different kind of a design method, where the phase pattern has its significance as a factor behind the multiplicity of the amplitude pattern. The design method can be used in the planning process of base‐station antenna arrays for mobile communications. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 26: 341–348, 2000.
