1. An antenna array comprising:

  • at least one group of antennas comprising at least two pairs of antennas where each pair has orthogonally polarized antennas and at least one antenna from one pair is similarly polarized to at least one antenna from another pair; and

    circuitry coupled to the at least one group for selecting and activating certain antennas in the group based on characteristics of signals to be transmitted and/or being received by the antenna array thus enabling the antenna array to operate in either a beam forming/steering mode, a MIMO mode, a diversity mode or any combination thereof.
