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 beam-forming to improve the space diversity and achieve frequency reuse. Our proposal consists in solving a system of linear equations from an 8-elements linear antenna array that increases the size of the side lobes. This method is compared with the algorithm of Dolph-Chebyshev. Our method shows competitive results in increasing the space diversity.
