Abstract:
A system and method for processing antenna signals are provided. For example, the method includes, in a receive mode, weighting and combining signals from at least one low-band antenna radiator element operable over a first bandwidth, at least one high-band antenna radiator element operable over a second bandwidth at least partially overlapping the first bandwidth, and, in some examples, at least one antenna radiator element operable over one or more intermediate bandwidths. The method also includes, in a transmit mode, separating and weighting a full-band input port signal into at least one low-band sub-system output port signal, at least one high-band sub-system port output signal, and, in some examples, at least one intermediate sub-system output port signal operable over one or more overlapping intermediate bandwidths. The weighted combination and weighted separation cover an uninterrupted continuous full-band frequency whose extent covers the full frequency range of all subbands.
