Abstract: Base station antennas a reflector, an RF port, an array of radiating elements, where each radiating element is mounted to extend forwardly from the reflector and mechanically uptilted with respect to the reflector, and a feed network coupled between the RF port and the array of radiating elements. The feed network includes a plurality of delay elements that are configured to impart a fixed electronic downtilt to a radiation pattern generated by the array of radiating elements in response to an RF signal input at the RF port.

Abstract: The Invention comprises a method and Interface for powering and controlling an antenna, having an RF signal input, an AISG signal input, including a DC current, wherein the RF signal input is coupled to the antenna by a filter, so the filter blocks a signal with DC current, and the AISG signal is coupled to the antenna through a switch, so that if an AISG signal is present, the switch automatically allows the AISG signal through to the antenna for control of the antenna, and if no AISG signal is present, the RF signal is automatically allowed through to the antenna for control of the antenna.
