A method for analog
beamforming performed by a
transmitter (110) of a
wireless communication network (100) is disclosed. The
transmitter (110) comprises a plurality of antenna branches (114, 115, 116), each antenna
branch comprising an
antenna element (111, 112, 113). The method comprises, for each antenna
branch (114, 115, 116), obtaining a first and a second
signal of an analog
radio signal, the first and the second
signal being separated from the analog
radio signal and the analog
radio signal being identical at each antenna
branch; and obtaining information indicating a branch-specific phase shift angle and a branch-specific amplitude, the branch-specific phase shift angle and the branch-specific amplitude being determined from information identifying a
radiation pattern, the
radiation pattern comprising at least two directions for
wireless transmission to at least one
receiver (120). The method further includes phase shifting the first
signal according to a first phase shift angle and phase shifting the second signal according to a second phase shift angle, the first and second phase shift angles being selected so that when the first and second signals are combined, the combined signal has a branch-specific phase shift angle and a branch-specific amplitude indicated by the obtained information; combining the phase-shifted first and second signals into a combined signal; and wirelessly transmitting the combined signal via the antenna units (111, 112, 113).
