Abstract

An antenna array is provided which may include different levels of antenna elements on the array. A first set of antenna elements are arranged on a first set of reflectors with the reflectors being arranged in a shape having corners. A second set of reflectors with a second set of antenna elements are mounted on the corners of the first set of reflectors. A third set of reflectors is arranged in another shape with a third set of antenna elements being on the faces of the third set of reflectors. The first and second set of reflectors and antenna elements are on a first level of the array and the third set of reflectors and antenna elements are on a second level of the array. The third set of reflectors and antenna elements are between the first level and the base plate of the array.
