As seen in the above vertical pattern, shadow under the tower will
result if the receiver happens to stand in the null-coverage of the beam.
To combat this problem,null-fill antenna can be adopted. The
alternative solution is to downtilt the beam.
2. Antennas in network optimization
1) the definition of network optimization
It refers to the proper adjustment of regulation and design of the
communication network according to certain guidance so as to ensure
reliability and cost efficiency of the network. It aims at better
operation quality and high utilization ratio of radio resources, all of
which is essential for both mobile user and operator.

Horizontal beam
High front-to-back ratio
Side lobe suppression across frequency band
Remain constant 10dB beamwidth of horizontal beam during the adjustment of tilt angle.
(2)
vertical beam
Side lobe suppression across frequency band
Null fill feature
Consistent gain across frequency band.
Dual polarized antennas should feature enough isolation and space polarization discrimination.
6)
Increase carrier-to-signal ratio by the adjustment of BTS antennas.
7)
Improve the speech quality in coverage area , balance the network load, and improve network
operating efficiency by the adjustment of BTS antennas elevation angle.
