N2 - This paper investigates a method to make a deep null by adding side reflectors to a reflector-backed dipole antenna array. Parametric studies of radiation patterns reveal the side reflectors contribute to altering a beam pattern more flexibly than the conventional antenna. It makes element patterns in the array more identical, and the antenna scans a null greater than -30 dB constantly in the 5.8 GHz band. Compared to our previous work, which operates in the 2.4 GHz band, we confirm our method is a frequency-scalable approach and very easy to implement.
