Zusammenfassung:An antenna array (3000) having a plurality of antenna elements (3001-1 to 3001-8) is disclosed. The antenna array comprises: a plurality of transceiver modules (3003-1 to 3001-6); an active antenna element subset (3001-3 to 3001-6) of the plurality of antenna elements, wherein the active antenna element subset comprises at least one active antenna element being actively coupled to an associated transceiver module (3003-3 to 3003-6) of the plurality of transceiver modules; and at least one passively combined sub-array (3005-1,3005-2) of at least two antenna elements of the plurality of antenna elements. A method for generating antenna patterns with the antenna array (3000) is also disclosed.
