Claim 14:
15. The method of claim 10, further comprising:
outputting, from each one of the plurality of hybrid couplers, 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 two antenna elements of the plurality of antenna elements coupled to an associated one of the plurality of hybrid couplers;
receiving, at each one of the plurality of antenna elements, one of the two signals output from the respective one of the plurality of hybrid couplers; and
outputting, from each one of the plurality of antenna elements, a beam based on the one of the two signals output from the respective one of the plurality of hybrid couplers,
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.
