Signal combiner, method, computer program and computer program product
A signal combiner for combining transmission signals to be supplied to four antennas devices, wherein two of the antenna devices are polarized in a first orientation and two of the antenna devices are polarized in a second orientation essentially orthogonal to the first orientation. The signal combiner comprises: four input connections arranged to receive the transmission signals; four output connections arranged to drive a respective one of the four of antenna devices using respective output signals. The signal combiner is arranged to combine transmission signals supplied on each input connection to all of the four output connections using beam forming and phase adjustment, such that, in use, each supplied transmission signal generates a central beam polarized in the first orientation and a side beam polarized in the second orientation. It is also presented a corresponding method, computer program and computer program product.
