BASE STATION ANTENNAS INCLUDING SLANT +/- 45º AND H/V CROSS-DIPOLE RADIATING ELEMENTS THAT OPERATE IN THE SAME FREQUENCY BAND

摘要

A base station antenna includes a first plurality of first frequency band radiating elements that are arranged as a first linear array of first frequency band radiating elements and as a second linear array of first frequency band radiating elements. The second linear array of first frequency band radiating elements is adjacent the first linear array of first frequency band radiating elements. A first subset of the first plurality of first frequency band radiating elements are slant +/-45º cross-dipole radiating elements that each include at least one -45º dipole arm and at least one +45º dipole arm, and a second subset of the first plurality of first frequency band radiating elements are H/V cross-dipole radiating elements that each include at least one horizontal dipole arm and at least one vertical dipole arm.
