A method of configuring an antenna that includes a plurality of RET units that are associated with respective ones of a plurality of arrays of radiating elements is provided in which, for each array in a subset that includes at least one of the arrays, setting an output of the RET unit associated with the array to a position that corresponds to a pre-selected electronic downtilt for the array. A first RET unit configuration file is loaded into a memory of the antenna, where the first RET unit configuration file does not include configuration data for the RET units associated with the arrays that are included in the subset. A second RET unit configuration file is provided that includes configuration data for all of the RET units.

Base station antennas having field-enabled remote electronic tilt capabilities

A system includes a remote electronic tilt phase shifter module, a motor, a mechanical linkage that connects the motor to the remote electronic tilt phase shifter module, a current management circuit that generates a motor control signal responsive to a current control signal, and a driver circuit that is configured to selectively connect the motor to a power supply in response to the motor control signal.
