Abstract
The present invention relates to a dual polarized array antenna comprising at least two dual polarized antenna elements being arranged for radiating electromagnetic energy having a first polarization, constituting a first antenna radiation pattern, via a connection to a first antenna port, and electromagnetic energy having a second polarization, constituting a second antenna radiation pattern, via a connection to a second antenna port, the second polarization being orthogonal to the first polarization, the first antenna radiation pattern and second antenna radiation pattern each having a main beam and a number of side-lobes with nulls. The array antenna comprises at least one further dual polarized antenna element arranged for radiating electromagnetic energy having two mutually orthogonal polarizations, constituting further antenna radiation patterns, via respective connections to the first antenna port and the second antenna port, where the polarization of said at least one further dual polarized antenna element that is associated with the first antenna port deviates from the first polarization such that said at least one null of the first antenna pattern is at least partly filled.
