Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a transmission apparatus, including at least one first RF signal connection for an RF signal having a first phase, a ring coupler having a plurality of antenna connections for coupling a plurality of antennas in the first RF signal connection, wherein the ring coupler is configured to cause, at each of different antenna connections of the ring coupler, a constructive superposition of components of the RF signal that propagate from the first RF signal connection to the respective antenna connections in different directions in the ring coupler, wherein RF signals having different phases are obtained at the different antenna connections.
