    Abstract: A system for generating calibration data in an active antenna system (AAS) radio includes an array of directional couplers within a multi-channel transmit/receive signal path of the AAS radio, and a combiner network electrically coupled to the array of directional couplers. An array of filters is provided within the multi-channel transmit/receive signal path. The array of filters is electrically coupled to antenna-side terminals of the array of directional couplers. A plurality of pairs of transmitters and receivers are provided, which include a transmitter and a receiver that operate as a reference transmitter and a reference receiver, respectively. A removable routing network is provided, which is electrically coupled to antenna-side terminals of the array of filters, and is configured to feed back factory calibration signals (generated by the AAS radio during factory calibration) to antenna-side terminals of the array of filters. A multi-stage switch network is provided, which is electrically coupled to the reference transmitter, the reference receiver, the combiner network, and a factory calibration port of the routing network.

    Abstract: An antenna includes a cross-polarized feed signal network configured to convert first and second radio frequency (RF) input feed signals into first and second pairs of cross-polarized feed signals at respective first and second pairs of feed signal output ports. A patch carrier is provided on the cross-polarized feed signal network. The patch carrier includes a substrate having a plurality of cavities therein, and first and second pairs of feed signal lines, which are electrically coupled to the first and second pairs of feed signal output ports and extend on sidewalls of the plurality of cavities. A patch radiating element is provided on the patch carrier. The patch radiating element is capacitively coupled to the first and second pairs of feed signal lines.
