<p>An apparatus (10) comprises a beamforming antenna array which includes n antennas (141 to 14n) having k antenna elements (1511 to 151k,..., 15n1 to 15nk), n being an integer greater than one and k being an integer greater than zero. The apparatus (10) further comprises n transmitters (131 to 13n) provided in correspondence with the antennas (141 to 14n), each of the n transmitters having an average transmit power of 1/n of the total transmit power, and a processor (11) which splits a signal to be radiated in a non-beamforming mode into n adjacent frequency ranges, thereby obtaining n split signals, and applies the n split signals to the n transmitters (131 to 13n) such that power is distributed equally to all (n x k) antenna elements (1511 to 151k,..., 15n1 to 15nk).</p> |
