摘要： A communication station for generating or receiving an angularly dispersed array of radiation beams, comprising an array of radiating elements (100) defining an array antenna (1); and a beam former (120), the beam former comprising a passive network having a first side (X) carrying a plurality of beam ports for electrical signals corresponding to the beams and a second side (Y) carrying a plurality of antenna ports corresponding to the radiating elements, each beam port being connected to a plurality of antenna ports via a network (50) of power divider (52) and phase shifter (53) components, the phase shifts of which are in integer multiples of a predetermined constant, so as to generate the array of beams; in which the array antenna (1) has triangular or hexagonal symmetry and the array of beams has triangular or hexagonal symmetry.
