1. An active antenna array (1) for a mobile communication network comprising:

  • a plurality of antenna elements (Ant-1, Ant-2, . . . , Ant-N) for relaying at least first protocol radio signalsat least one first port (11-1) connected to at least one individual first protocol relay path;

    the first port (11-1) relaying a general first protocol receive signal (70Rx) to a first protocol link;

    a first DC voltage supply (202 providing a first DC voltage (205) to at least a portion of the first protocol link;

    at least one DC voltage extractor (220-1, 220-2, . . . , 220-N) located in the at least one individual first protocol relay path;

    the DC voltage extractor (220-1, 220-2, . . . , 220-N) being adapted to extract at least one individual DC voltage (205-1, 205-2, . . . , 205-N) to supply an at least one signal processing element (200-1, 200-2, . . . , 200-N) located in the at least one individual first relay path.
