Claim 0:
1. A method for configuring an antenna system, comprising:
setting a set of beam parameters for a main array and at least one edge array portion, wherein the main array comprises a first plurality of radiating elements configured to generate a non-tapered beam having a main lobe and side lobes, and wherein the at least one edge array portion comprises a second plurality of radiating elements arranged at a corner of the main array and configured to taper the beam from the main array;
determining a first configuration of the main array to achieve a main lobe gain;
determining a first weight for feed to the first plurality of radiating elements;
determining a second weight for feed to the second plurality of radiating elements;
determining a gain differential of the main lobe and the side lobes;
determining a second configuration of the at least one edge array to achieve the gain differential of main lobe and the side lobes;
determining whether further configuration adjustments of the at least one edge array are needed; and
storing the first and second weights in a configuration for the antenna system.
