Default Antenna Pattern Distortion due to 2 antenna placed in near vicinity

Hi all,
I have placed 2 similar antennas (3 dB beamwidth = 90deg,
Polarization= LHC) on a PEC box with a small spacing between the 2.
Both antenna's are tilted and the first one is at 45deg and other at
135 deg from the horizontal so that both can cover 180 deg.

With this setup, in the simulation result i am observing heavy
distortion (about 10dB ripple or more) at 90 deg. What is the reason
for this heavy distortion. Is there any way i can remove the
distortion in the pattern without changing the antenna's position??

Thanks in advance,
Rohit
