Abstract:
There is provided a signal distribution network for an antenna arrangement comprising signal interfaces and antenna elements. The signal distribution network comprises a first signal processing module operatively connected between antenna elements and K of the signal interfaces. The signal distribution network comprises a second signal processing module operatively connected between antenna elements and M signal interfaces other than those operatively connected to the first signal processing module. Components of the second signal processing module have lower sampling rate than components of the first signal processing module. The signal distribution network is configured for simultaneous signalling between the antenna elements and the first signal processing module and between the antenna elements and the second signal processing module. There are also provided methods for processing signals in such a signal distribution network and computer programs for processing signals in such a signal distribution network.

Claim (Index 24):
A method for processing a signal in a signal distribution network for an antenna arrangement comprising signal interfaces and antenna elements, the method comprising:\n receiving a signal from antenna elements of the antenna arrangement; feeding the received signal through a signal distribution network comprising,\n a first signal processing module operatively connected between antenna elements and K of the signal interfaces, and \n a second signal processing module operatively connected between antenna elements and M signal interfaces other than those operatively connected to the first signal processing module, \n wherein components of the second signal processing module have lower sampling rate than components of the first signal processing module, and wherein the signal distribution network is configured for simultaneous signalling between the antenna elements and the first signal processing module and between the antenna elements and the second signal processing module; and \n providing the signal having been fed through the signal distribution network to all signal interfaces of the antenna arrangement.
