    Abstract: An antenna assembly includes a backplane and a polymer substrate mounted over the backplane to define an air gap therebetween. The polymer substrate supports radiating elements comprising a polymer-based waveguide feed stalk and a polymer-based pair of radiating arms supported by and electrically coupled to the waveguide feed stalk. A conductive layer is formed on the polymer substrate such that the conductive layer faces the backplane. A phase shifter including a movable element such as a dielectric member or trombone member may be positioned in the air gap for adjusting the phase of a radiating element or a phase shifter assembly may be positioned to the back side of the back plane.

    Abstract: Base station antennas are provided herein. A base station antenna includes consecutive first, second, third, and fourth columns of radiating elements that are configured to transmit in a first frequency band. In some embodiments, the first and third columns are further configured to transmit in a second frequency band that is different from the first frequency band as a first MIMO pair, and the second and fourth columns are further configured to transmit in the second frequency band as a second MIMO pair. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the first and second columns are fed together and are further configured to transmit in a second frequency band as a first MIMO pair, and the third and fourth columns are fed together and are further configured to transmit in the second frequency band as a second MIMO pair. Related methods of operation are also provided.
