Abstract
An antenna array has two columns of dipoles that are configured to radiate distinct signals. The top and bottom row of dipoles have a coupler that splits the power of each column such that each of the two dipoles at top and bottom radiate in both signals at a given power split ratio. The coupler provides for phase compensation so that the two radiated signals are phase aligned across the top and bottom row. Having the power shared at the top and bottom rows shifts the phase center away from the edge of the ground plane of the antenna's reflector. The coupler is configured so that its coupling efficiency is greatest at the lowest frequency and least at its highest frequency. This improves the performance of the antenna array in the low frequencies while preserving antenna diversity between the two radiated signals.
