Zusammenfassung:A super economical broadcast system and method are provided. The system includes a plurality of base transceiver stations that define a plurality of respective cells, each base transceiver station includes a phased-array antenna having a plurality of sectors, each sector has a plurality of vertically-arranged antenna panels, and each antenna panel has a plurality of vertically-arranged radiators disposed in at least two staggered columns. The method includes forming a horizontally and vertically shaped beam using a plurality of verticallyarranged antenna panels, in which each antenna panel has a plurality of vertically-arranged radiators disposed in at least two staggered columns, and transmitting a power distribution that has an essentially uniform field strength over a near zone, a middle zone and at least a portion of a far zone.
