Abstract
An antenna arrangement for receiving and/or transmitting electromagnetic signals in two spaced-apart frequency bands including a first frequency band having a first center frequency (f1) and a second frequency band having a second center frequency (f2). A first set of antenna elements (A1) are operative in the first frequency band (f1), and a second set of antenna elements (A2) are operative in the second frequency band (f2). A feeding network (C, 10, C1, C2) is arranged for feeding signals to the respective sets of antenna elements. The first set of antenna elements (A1) are arranged geometrically so that the first set has a first length (D1) in a first direction. The second set of antenna elements (A2) are arranged geometrically so that the second set has a second length (D2) in said first direction. In order to obtain lobes with the same beam width, said first and second lengths (D1, D2) are substantially inversely proportional to the first and second center frequencies (f1, f2).
