Abstract

An antenna system is disclosed. The system includes: N radio frequency channels, configured to send a radio frequency signal to drive one or two columns of M columns of antennas, and N<M≤2N; the M columns of antennas, configured to receive radio frequency signals, where only one column of two columns of antennas driven on a same radio frequency channel are connected to one of the M−N phase shifters, and is also connected to one of the M−N power splitters; the M−N power splitters, where any of the M−N power splitters is configured to split power for the two columns of antennas connected to the radio frequency channel; and the M−N phase shifters, where any of the M−N phase shifters is configured to adjust a phase of a radio frequency signal received by an antenna connected to the phase shifter.
