CELLULAR ANTENNA FOR ELEVATED AND OBSTRUCTED DEPLOYMENT

In one example, the present disclosure provides a phased array antenna system with a first array of antenna elements and a first radio frequency beamforming network configured to split the power of a radio frequency signal for transmission into a first plurality of component signals comprising drive signals for the first array of antenna elements, the first radio frequency beamforming network further configured to combine a radio frequency signal for reception by the phased array antenna system from a second plurality of component signals from the first array of antenna elements, where a radio frequency power distribution of the first radio frequency beamforming network is arranged to provide a weighting of the first plurality and the second plurality of component signals processed via antenna elements towards one end of the first array.
