    Abstract: An array antenna includes at least one radiating element, which is configured to transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals, and a multi RF sub-band combiner circuit electrically coupled to the at least one radiating element. The combiner circuit is configured to: (i) selectively filter and route first and second RF signals in non-adjacent portions of a first sub-band to first and second radio ports, respectively, (ii) pass components of third and fourth RF signals in adjacent portions of a second sub-band to each of the first and second radio ports, and (iii) pass components of fifth and sixth RF signals in adjacent portions of a third sub-band to each of the first and second radio ports. The third sub-band may span higher frequencies relative to the second sub-band, which may span higher frequencies relative to the first sub-band.
