Novel Base Station Antenna Technology

• A novel low-cost light-weight dual-polarized base station antenna with an arbitrary number of beams having arbitrary beam widths.

• It consists of two parabolic cylindrical reflectors and a set of novel small size broadband resonant feeds.

• An unlimited number of such novel feeds operating at different frequency bands can be used with the same base station antenna. Thus, the new base station antenna can be easily upgraded to any new generation of wireless technology by replacing the feeds instead of replacing the whole antenna which is the case with the current base station antennas.

• The new multi-beam base station antenna can simultaneously cover all, current and future, wireless technology applications , regardless of their frequency bands, such as WiMax, digital TV, CDMA, 2G, 3G, 4G (LTE) --- etc.

• Multi beam technology can be easily applied to the new antenna by slightly modifying the geometry of the antenna. This process is simple, and adds much less weight and size than the conventional antenna technology does.

• It can, simultaneously, provide both horizontal and vertical sectorization, which doubles the overall system capacity.

• All beams can be shaped in the vertical plane in order to eliminate the ducting and/or the interference with the surrounding base station antennas.
