Abstract
A hybrid multiport array antenna comprises a plurality of columns of hybrid dipole unit cells, each of the hybrid dipole unit cells having a first dipole of a first type, and a second dipole of a second type, wherein the first dipole of the first type and the second dipole of the second type are configured to receive a single pair of RF (radio frequency) signals, the pair of RF signals having two orthogonal polarization states, wherein the first dipole of the first type and the second dipole of the second type are spaced with an offset in a vertical direction. The arrangement of the hybrid dipole unit cells reduces the phase center distance between the dipoles in each column and between columns, thereby assuring high gain while reducing grating lobes and other signal gain degradations caused by longer distances between phase centers.
