The active antenna array comprises a plurality of first polarization antenna elements and a plurality of second polarization antenna elements. The plurality of first polarization antenna elements is connected to a first protocol signal generator. The plurality of first polarization antenna elements are adapted to radiate an individual first protocol transmit signal. An individual one of the plurality of second polarization antenna element is connected to an individual one of a plurality of second protocol signal generators. The plurality of second polarization antenna elements is adapted to radiate an individual second protocol transmit signal. An individual one of the plurality of first polarization antenna elements and the individual one of the plurality of second polarization antenna elements are adapted to receive both, an individual first protocol receive signal and an individual second protocol receive signal.
