Claim 20:
21. An apparatus comprising:
a planar substrate;
a first port formed on the planar substrate;
a first antenna formed on the planar substrate and coupled to the first port, wherein the first antenna is a phased array antenna comprising a plurality of first radiator elements and a network of first feed lines connecting the first port to each of the plurality of first radiator elements;
a second port formed on the planar substrate;
a second antenna formed on the planar substrate and coupled to the first port, wherein the second antenna comprises at least one second radiator element and a second feed line connecting the second port to the at least one second radiator element, wherein the at least one second radiator element and one of the plurality of first radiator elements are configured to form a shared radiator, wherein the shared radiator is configured to provide a flow of energy from the at least one second radiator element to the plurality of first radiator elements, and
wherein each of the first and second antennas is configured to operate at a millimeter-wave operating frequency band.
