Abstract: Antenna systems are provided. An antenna system includes a beamforming array having a plurality of vertical columns of radiating elements that are each configured to transmit at least three antenna beams per polarization. Moreover, the antenna system includes a beamforming radio having a plurality of radio frequency ports per polarization that are coupled to and fewer than the vertical columns.

Abstract: A base station antenna includes a first column of radiating elements containing a first plurality of physical rows of radiating elements, which are collectively operable as a first logical row of radiating elements responsive to a first radio frequency signal (RF1), and (ii) a second plurality of physical rows of radiating elements, which are collectively operable as a second logical row of radiating elements responsive to a second radio frequency signal (RF2). The radiating elements within both the first column and the first logical row include a first plurality of radiating elements responsive to RF1, and a second plurality of radiating elements responsive to a phase delayed version of RF1 generated by a first adjustable phase shifter. A radio frequency (RF) signal generator is provided to adjust a phase of RF2 relative to a phase of RF1, in-sync with a change in a phase delay (and static electric tilt) provided by the first adjustable phase shifter. This in-sync adjustment may support an improvement antenna beam characteristics, including suppression of undesired side-lobes.
