Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein a quantity of the plurality of antenna elements is twice a quantity of the plurality of phase shifters,
wherein each hybrid coupler is further coupled to two antenna elements of the plurality of antenna elements, wherein each one of the plurality of hybrid couplers is configured to cause the device to:
output two signals based on the phase shifted signal received from the respective phase shifter, wherein the two signals have a 180° phase shift between each other and are respectively output to the two antenna elements,

wherein each one of the plurality of antenna elements is configured to cause the device to:
receive one of the two signals output from a coupled hybrid coupler, and
output a beam based on the one of the two signals output from the coupled hybrid coupler, and
wherein beams output from the plurality of antenna elements are output with different beam angles relative to each other and have a phase difference between adjacent beams.
