Abstract:
Method, apparatuses, and computer program product for beam steering to support beam dithering in high aspect ratio antenna arrays are provided. One method may include applying a beam steering phase shift to a plurality of antenna array elements in an antenna array. The method may also include applying a non-uniform phase offset to each of the antenna array elements in addition to the beam steering phase shift. In addition, the method may include shifting a beam angle of the antenna array based on a combination of the beam steering phase shift and the non-uniform phase offset at each of the antenna array elements. The non-uniform phase offset may be a minimum phase increment.
