Abstract
A frequency division multiple antenna distribution includes dividing up a carrier signal between a number of frequencies to create a plurality of sub-carrier signals. Each of the sub-carrier signals is at a different frequency. Each sub-carrier signal is transmitted from a different antenna element of a sub-array of antenna elements to create a sub-array transmission pattern of sub-carrier signals. The sub-array transmission pattern is shifted through a plurality of sub-arrays of an antenna array for different sub-carriers.
