Abstract

The present invention relates to an antenna assembly (2, 102, 202, 302) comprising: a plurality of transmit antennas, at least one receive antenna (4), at least one shielding structure (6), and at least one frame (8), wherein the at least one frame is configured for: setting a pointing direction of a first transmit antenna (10) such that a first transmit minimum (16) of the first receive antenna (10) points towards a first zone (24), and setting a pointing direction of a second transmit antenna (12) such that a second transmit minimum (18) of the second antenna (12) points towards a second zone (26), whereby coupling of radiation from the plurality of transmit antennas to the receive antenna (4) is reduced.
