Abstract
An antenna array device is steered laterally (horizontally) by phase shifting the RF signal at each column of the array. The phase shifting is incremented column by column. Control signals provided to the phase shifters control the steering. The antenna array device may be an MIMO antenna, with at least two arrays. Two different DC control signals may be combined with two RF signals, with the different DC control signals used to control a left or right side of each of the two antenna arrays.
