Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to an antenna apparatus with steerable beam pattern, an RF transceiver comprising the antenna apparatus and a mobile device comprising the antenna apparatus. The antenna apparatus according to the present invention is attachable to the front-end of a transceiver circuitry and comprises at least two balanced radiation elements forming a planar structure, for transmitting and/or receiving a corresponding number of partial signals, a signal splitter and/or combiner for splitting a signal received from an attached transceiver circuitry into said partial signals and/or combining said partial signals into a signal to be transmitted to an attached transceiver circuitry, a phase shifter device operable to apply relative phase shifts between at least two of said partial signals, whereby said relative phase shifts are selectable from a group of at least two relative phase shift values provided by said phase shifter device.
