Claim 8:
9. The radio module of claim 1, wherein:
the at least a subset of antenna elements from the first set of antenna elements having the first polarization is a first subset of antenna elements having the first polarization;
the at least a subset of antenna elements from the second set of antenna elements having the second polarization is a second subset set of antenna elements having the second polarization;
the plurality of beam narrowing modules further comprises:
a third beam narrowing module corresponding to the first polarization and configured to (i) receive signals emitted by a third subset of antenna elements from the first set of antenna elements having the first polarization when active and (ii) consolidate the received signals into a third narrow beam composite signal having the first polarization; and
a fourth beam narrowing module corresponding to the second polarization and configured to (i) receive signals emitted by a fourth subset of antenna elements from the second set of antenna elements having the second polarization when active and (ii) consolidate the received signals into a fourth narrow beam composite signal having the second polarization; and

the control unit is configured to independently activate or deactivate each of the first through fourth subsets of antenna elements.
