Wireless communication node with cross-polarized antennas and at least one transformation matrix arrangement
A node in a wireless communication network, where the node comprises at least one antenna arrangement. Each antenna arrangement in turn comprises at least four antenna devices with corresponding pairs of antenna ports which in turn comprise corresponding first antenna ports and second antenna ports. Each antenna device comprises at least one corresponding dual polarized antenna element arranged for transmitting and/or receiving signals at a first polarization via the corresponding first antenna port and for transmitting and/or receiving signals at a second polarization via the corresponding second antenna port, where the polarizations are mutually orthogonal. Each antenna arrangement further comprises at least a first transformation matrix arrangement which in turn comprises at least four corresponding virtual antenna ports. The antenna ports are at least indirectly connected to each transformation matrix arrangement. Each transformation matrix arrangement is arranged to set a certain polarization state for each corresponding virtual antenna port.
