Antenna system connectable to a base station, the antenna system comprising a digital radio unit (200) connectable to at least one antenna element (220), wherein the digital radio unit (200) comprises: at least one micro radio (230) for receiving/sending digital radio signals having a digital down-converter (350) / a digital up-converter (310) and a digital signal converter (234; 235). The at least one micro radio (230) converts the digital radio signals to analogue RF (radio frequency) signals and vice versa. The at least one micro radio (23) has at least one hub (240) for processing digital radio signals and control signals and for routing said digital radio signals and control signals via at least one serial link (260) and at least one interface (258, 259). The at least one serial link (260) is provided between the at least one hub (240) and the at least one micro radio (230).
