Claim Text:
1. A system for antenna beamforming, said system comprising: at least one antenna comprising an array of antenna elements coupled to a radio frequency (RF) beamforming circuit, said RF beamforming circuit to adjust phase shifts associated with said antenna elements to generate a plurality of antenna beams, each of said antenna beams defining a corresponding sector having a sector beamwidth, wherein said plurality of sector beamwidths collectively define a wide sector, said wide sector having a wide sector beamwidth that is wider than a respective one of said sector beamwidths; and central beamforming circuitry coupled to said at least one antenna, said central beamforming circuitry to control said plurality of antenna beams such that said arrays of antenna elements of said at least one antenna combine to operate as a composite antenna beamforming array; wherein:
