Feed network arrangement for generating a mutli-antennae signal

#This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 from German Patent Application No. 10 2014 011 883.5, filed Aug. 13, 2014, the entire disclosure of which is herein expressly incorporated by reference.

#The present invention relates to the signal generation for multi-antennae. In particular, the present invention relates to a feed network arrangement for generating a multi-antennae signal.

#The publication EP 1 530 816 B1 describes a calibration device for a switchable antennae array into which at least two inputs from among a plurality of inputs of the beam forming network are fed simultaneously and/or jointly and/or in phase. In this instance, the antennae array includes a plurality of single emitters situated one above the other.

#FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a feed network arrangement for generating a multi-signal according to an embodiment of the present invention;

#FIG. 2 shows a schematic illustration of a feed network arrangement for generating a multi-signal according to a further embodiment of the present invention;

#FIG. 3 shows a schematic illustration of a diagram of a transmission coefficient of an 8×8 Butler matrix for explaining the present invention;

#In the figures of the drawings, the same reference characters reference the same or analogue elements, parts, components or method steps of the present invention, provided that nothing to the contrary is mentioned.

#FIG. 1 shows a feed network arrangement for generating a multi-signal according to a further embodiment of the present invention.

#A feed network arrangement 1000 for generating a multi-antennae signal includes, for example, a plurality of coupler devices 100, a plurality of adjustable length of line devices 102 and a plurality of base plates 1000-3.
