    Abstract: A feed network includes an adjustable electromechanical phase shifter that comprises a main printed circuit board and a phase shifting unit. The adjustable electromechanical phase shifter is configured to shift the phase of an RF signal that is input to the feed network and provide the phase shifted RF signal to at least one radiating element that is positioned on a first side of a reflector of an antenna, where the phase shifting unit is formed on the surface of a first side of the main printed circuit board, and the first side of the main printed circuit board is a side that is closer to the at least one radiating element, and the main printed circuit board is positioned on the first side of the reflector.

    Abstract: Multi-band antennas utilize compact multi-band dipole-type radiating elements having multiple arms, including a front facing arm and a rear facing arm that respectively target higher and lower frequency bands. These higher and lower frequency bands may include, but are not limited to, a relatively wide band (e.g., 1695-2690 MHz) associated with the front facing arm and somewhat narrower and nonoverlapping band (e.g., 1427-1518 MHz) associated with the rear facing arm. The front facing arm may extend on a “front” layer of a multi-layer printed circuit board and the rear facing arm may extend at least partially on a “rear” layer of the printed circuit board. A resonant LC (or CLC) network is provided, which is integrated into the rear facing arm and at least capacitively coupled to the front facing arm. This resonant network advantageously supports low-pass filtering from the front facing arm to the rear facing arm, to thereby support the multiple and nonoverlapping bands.

    Abstract: A low frequency and direct current (DC) signal blocking device includes a dielectric substrate layer; a low frequency and DC signal blocking transmission line on a first surface of the substrate layer, where the low frequency and DC signal blocking transmission line has an input end and an output end; a metal layer on a second surface of the substrate layer, where there is at least one gap on the metal layer such that the metal layer is separated into at least a first sub-region and a second sub-region, where the gap is configured to block at least one of a low frequency signal and a DC signal; the substrate layer disposed between the low frequency and DC signal blocking transmission line and the metal layer; and a metal plate, wherein a dielectric layer is disposed between the metal plate and the metal layer.

    Abstract: A base station antenna that extends along a first longitudinal axis includes a first array configured to emit electromagnetic radiation. The first array includes a first column of radiating elements, the first column including a first radiating element and a pair of second radiating elements. The first radiating element is a cross dipole radiating element and the pair of second radiating elements includes a pair of second radiating elements that are disposed facing each other on both sides of the first longitudinal axis, where each of the second radiating elements includes first and second radiating arms that extend respectively in opposite directions substantially along the first longitudinal axis, and a third radiating arm that extends toward the first longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to the first and second radiating arms.

    Abstract: An antenna assembly includes a substrate having front and back surfaces thereon and a plurality of through-holes therein, along with a solder pad on the back surface of the substrate. An input cable is also provided, which is attached to the back surface of the substrate. The input cable includes an outer conductor, which contacts the back surface of the substrate, and an inner conductor, which extends at least partially through a first of the plurality of through-holes and is electrically connected to the solder pad. A metal trace (e.g., 50-ohm trace) is provided on the front surface of the substrate. The metal trace is electrically connected to the solder pad by electrically conductive plating in a second of the plurality of through-holes.

    Abstract: The present application is directed to a mounting system for a base station antenna. The system includes a passive antenna and an active antenna module and a mounting kit. The mounting kit includes an upper radio mounting bracket assembly and a lower radio mounting bracket assembly, and is configured to mount and secure an upper portion of the passive antenna to a mounting structure and mount and secure the active antenna module to the mounting structure behind the passive antenna. The system further includes a middle antenna mounting bracket assembly configured to pivotably mount a middle portion of the passive antenna to the mounting structure and a lower antenna mounting bracket assembly configured to slidably and/or pivotably mount a lower portion of the passive antenna to the mounting structure. The mounting system is configured to adjust the base station antenna downwardly or upwardly to a desired angle of tilt. Mounting kits and methods of operating same are also described herein.
