1. An antenna for a phased array antenna, comprising:
a substrate;
a dielectric radiation element arranged on the substrate;
a radiation pattern shaping mechanism operable to reduce central radiation provided by the radiation element during operation; and
wherein the radiation pattern shaping mechanism comprising a ring-shaped element arranged on the substrate and defining an opening that receives a first portion of the dielectric resonator element, such that the first portion is surrounded by the ring-shaped element; the dielectric resonator element having a second portion that extends out of the opening in a direction away from the substrate.
