This article presents a new method to realize sectoral antennas for base station by incorporating metallic partially reflecting surface (M‐PRS).The main idea consists in inserting simple radiating elements, as patches, inside a Fabry‐Perot cavity resonator. This consists of a ground plane, where the feeding system rests covered by a rectangular M‐PRS. A patch array is used as a feeding structure to enhance directivity and radiation bandwidth. A rectangular M‐PRS antenna for the uplink UMTS frequency band [1.92–1.98 GHz] working in vertical polarization is designed, and its performances are disclosed. Finally, a prototype is realized and the experimental measurements are compared to the simulated ones. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
