Abstract
Apparatus comprising a plurality of antenna devices and a feeding device, wherein said feeding device is configured to receive a first input signal, to generate a plurality of first output signals by power dividing said first input signal, and to provide said plurality of first output signals to said plurality of antenna devices, wherein two or more of said antenna devices comprise a first antenna element for receiving at least a portion of said plurality of first output signals as a second input signal, a signal processing device configured to determine a second output signal depending on said second input signal by at least temporarily modifying a phase and/or an amplitude of said second input signal or a signal derived from said second input signal, and a second antenna element, wherein said signal processing device is configured to provide said second output signal to said second antenna element.
