Abstract:
Multi-band phased array antennas include a backplane, a vertical array of low-band radiating elements that form a first antenna beam, first and second vertical arrays of high-band radiating elements that form respective second and third antenna beams and a vertical array of RF lenses. The first, second and third antenna beams point in different directions. A respective one of the second radiating elements and a respective one of the third radiating elements are positioned between the backplane and each RF lens, and at least some of the first radiating elements are positioned between the RF lenses.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure may be directed to a wrap-around antenna capable of being wrapped around a support structure to provide antenna patterns for a communication system. Such an assembly may be aesthetically pleasing and, because the antenna assembly allows for radiation away from the support structure, scattering effects due to interference from the support structure may be eliminated.

Abstract:
An antenna comprising an antenna assembly comprising a plurality of antenna columns that are connected to form a perimeter about a central region, wherein each of the plurality of inter-connected antenna columns includes one or more radiating elements; at least one power divider configured to distribute radio frequency (RF) signals received from a base station and combine signals received from at least one of the plurality of inter-connected antenna columns; and a plurality of respective enclosures housing the plurality of antenna columns respectively, wherein the at least one power divider is enclosed within one of the plurality of enclosures, wherein the antenna assembly is configured to be mounted around a support structure.
