1. An antenna, comprising:
a plurality of array faces spaced apart by an angular spacing, each of the array faces having a radiator array disposed thereon, each of the radiator arrays having a plurality of radiator columns, each of the plurality of radiator columns having a plurality of radiators, and each of the plurality of radiators having a pair of dipoles configured to radiate respectively in a first polarization and a second polarization,
wherein each respective radiator column of the plurality of radiator arrays is coupled to two antenna ports, a first of the two antenna ports corresponding to the first polarization and a second of the two antenna ports corresponding to the second polarization, and wherein the antenna is configured to provide a radiation pattern comprising a plurality of gain lobes that move in unison in response to differential amplitude and phase weighting performed by a base station.
