Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 5 wherein the port of the target array of antenna elements is aligned with the corresponding port of the small array of antenna elements as follows:
aligning corner ports of the small array of antenna elements directly to corresponding corner ports of the target array of antenna elements;
aligning ports along outside edges of the small array of antenna elements to ports along corresponding outside edges of the target array of antenna elements, including:
starting from corners of each outside edge, aligning each port of the outside edge of the small array of antenna elements only once into a corresponding port of the corresponding outside edge of the target array of antenna elements, except for a middle port of the outside edge of the small array of antenna elements which is aligned into all remaining ports of the corresponding outside edge of the target array of antenna elements; and

aligning ports in columns of the small array of antenna elements to ports in corresponding columns of the target array of antenna elements, including:
along each column of the target array of antenna elements, aligning each port of a column of the small array of antenna elements only once into a corresponding port of a corresponding column of the target array of antenna elements, except for a middle port of the column of the small array of antenna elements which is mapped into all remaining ports of the corresponding column of the target array of antenna elements, wherein each column of the target array of antenna elements corresponds to a column of the small array of antenna elements when end column ports from the small array of antenna elements have already been mapped into column end ports of the target array of antenna elements.
