20100035468 | COMMON INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR MULTIPLE ANTENNAS AND METHODS - In an active antenna system, two or more amplification chains are contained on one integrated circuit substrate or in one hybrid circuit. The amplification chains can be connected to at least one of a plurality of radiating elements. The integrated circuit or hybrid circuit can be incorporated into an active antenna connector, which can be electrically connected to a radiating element or a receiver system, for example. A first integrated circuit or hybrid circuit can be exchanged with a second integrated circuit or hybrid circuit in a connector to adjust properties of an active antenna system. | 02-11-2010 |
