ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a base station for a radio communications network. In order to be able to enhance the resolution for a direction of arrival estimation, the base station comprises: a first phasing network (31) for forming beams (B1-B4) for fixed reception angles; a second phasing network (33) for co-phasing and summing the signals of at least two neighbouring beams (B2, B3), thus forming a beam (B2-3) for a reception angle in-between at least those two neighbouring beams (B2, B3), and for scaling each resulting beam (B2-3) with a predetermined factor; and means for estimating the direction of arrival in the uplink from the beams (B1-B4, B2-3) provided by the first and the second phasing network (31, 33). The invention equally relates to a corresponding method and to a base station module comprising such a first and second phasing network.
