Abstract:
An array antenna capable of steering a beam in a first communication node of a wireless communication system may comprise: a plurality of single antennas each capable of variably adjusting a beam steering direction; a plurality of beamforming control units each of which is connected to each of the plurality of single antennas to control a beamforming operation of each of the plurality of single antennas; and an array antenna control unit connected to the plurality of beamforming control units to control a beamforming operation of the entire array antenna, wherein the plurality of single antennas are arranged in a cylindrical shape and are installed to face a direction opposite to a central direction of the cylinder shape, and the array antenna is configured to steer a beam to a predetermined area around the first communication node through at least one single antenna among the plurality of single antennas.
