Abstract
Antenna arrays include a first plurality of radiating elements in a first column thereof, which are responsive to a first plurality of RF feed signals derived from a first radio, and a second plurality of radiating elements in a second column thereof, which are responsive to a second plurality of RF feed signals derived from a second radio. A power divider circuit is provided, which is configured to drive a first one of the radiating elements at a first end of the second column of radiating elements with a majority of the energy associated with a first one of the first plurality of RF feed signals, and drive a first one of the radiating elements at a first end of the first column of radiating elements with a non-zero minority of the energy associated with the first one of the first plurality of RF feed signals.
