Claim Text:
1. An active antenna array having a plurality of antenna elements comprising: at least one first subset of the plurality of antenna elements, the at least one first subset relaying a first radio signal having a first antenna beam pattern; and at least one second subset of the plurality of antenna elements, the at least one second subset relaying a second radio signal having a second antenna beam pattern, wherein one of the plurality of antenna elements is a common antenna element belonging to both the at least one first subset and the at least one second subset, and wherein a non-common antenna element of the at least one first subset and a non-common antenna element of the at least one second subset are connected to one common transceiver module feeding power to the non-common antenna elements, and wherein the common antenna element is connected to a second transceiver module; wherein a total output power of said one common transceiver module is split up into a first radio signal power of the first signal relayed through the non-common antenna element of the at least one first subset and a second radio signal power of the second signal relayed through the non-common antenna element of the at least one second subset.
