Need Help to design solid wide angle antenna for NLoS - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Greetings All!

New around here! I have a outdoor 2x2 MIMO WiFi radio which has dual linear x-polarization antenna ports and need to design a 90* sector antenna in 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz for solid wide angle coverage for outdoor to indoor coverage in Non-LoS mode to achieve max wall penetration.

The TX output power of this radio is 22dBm.

My question is: What should be the optimum design for this Antenna which can generate max solid angle horizontal and vertical solid angle coverage. Should the 3db dual linear H/V pattern be about 90*/25*? My object is to cover maximum floors and provide good wall penetration with least amount of APs generating max array and diversity gain? PLEASE HELP!

God bless!
