Abstract:
There is provided a signal distribution network for an antenna arrangement with fewer input ports than antenna elements. The signal distribution network comprises at least two signal splitters. The signal distribution network comprises at least one signal combiner. Each signal splitter is configured to receive one input baseband signal from a unique input port and to provide one direct feed signal as input to a unique antenna element, and to provide one intermediate signal as input to at least one of said at least one signal combiner. Each signal combiner is configured to receive two intermediate signals, each intermediate signal being received from a respective signal splitter of the at least two signal splitters, and to provide one combined signal as input to a unique antenna element, wherein the one combined signal is formed by combining the received two intermediate signals.
