Abstract: At present, the systems of mobile communications demand major capacity in the services therefore optimum space diversity is needed. In this paper, we propose a new method of beamforming to improve the space diversity and achieve a frequency reuse. Our proposal solves a system of linear equations from an 8-elements linear antenna array which increases the size of the side lobes. This method is compared with the algorithm of Dolph-Chebyshev. Our method shows competitive results when increasing the space diversity.
