Abstract

The invention relates to a fixed beam antenna array and a base station comprising such an antenna array. In order to provide a simpler and more efficient fixed beam antenna array it is proposed that the array comprises columns (AC1-AC4) of antenna elements (AE) for transmitting generated signals, the fixed beam antenna array comprising moreover beamforming means (BM) for adjusting phase angle and/or amplitude of the generated signals and active power amplifiers (PA) respectively assigned to said columns (AC1-AC4) of antenna elements (AE) and arranged between said beamforming means (BM) and said columns (AC1-AC4) for amplifying the signals outputted by said beamforming means (BM) and for forwarding the amplified signals to the antenna elements (AE) destined for the transmission of the signals. The invention equally relates to a method for transmitting generated signals via such a fixed beam antenna array.
