In mobile communications, irregular handover and undesired interference, caused by wide inter‐sector coverage overlapping and the antenna's side‐lobe radiation, are improved by the application of resistive plates. This paper experimentally examines the characteristics of resistive plates and their design and implementation in order to reduce interference and enhance performance by guiding the power from overlapping regions to the main‐beam regions of each sector. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
