A reflector sub-assembly for an antenna assembly configured to support FDD and TDD modes of operation is presented. The reflector sub-assembly comprises a reflector defining at least one reflector opening, and at least one first PCB arranged to cover the reflector opening having a first PCB side directed towards the reflector and with a metallic layer thereon and a second PCB side directed away from the reflector and comprising one or more first electric lines. The reflector sub-assembly also comprises an array of first radiators to support a TDD mode extending through the reflector opening and having a feeding end directed towards the first PCB and electrically connected to at least one of the first electric lines and a distant end facing away from the first PCB and carrying at least one first radiating element. The reflector sub-assembly further comprises one or more second radiators to support an FDD mode.
