Abstract
The embodiments of the invention relate to antenna array (AA1) for transmitting and/or for receiving radio frequency signals. The antenna array (AA1) contains a first antenna element (AE1) and a second antenna element (AE2a) forming a first basic arrangement (BA1). The first antenna element (AE1) has a first substantially flat form and is adapted to excite within a first excitation area (EA1) a first electromagnetic field with a first polarization direction (PD1) and a second electromagnetic field with a second polarization direction (PD2) different to the first polarization direction (PD1). The second antenna element (AE2a) also has a second substantially flat form. The second antenna element (AE2a) is arranged adjacent to the first antenna element (AE1) and is adapted to excite at least a third electromagnetic field with a third polarization direction (PD3) non-parallel to the first polarization direction (PD1) and non-parallel to the second polarization direction (PD2) within a second excitation area (EA2) arranged non-parallel to the first excitation area (EA1) and facing towards the first excitation area (EA1). The embodiments further relate to an access network node, which co…
