The present disclosure relates to antenna design for installation on small cell base stations. The antenna design corresponds to a conformal antenna design that fits into a traditional sun-shield of an outdoor base station. In another aspect, the antenna design supports multiple bands and multiple technologies. In a further aspect, the antenna design provides a gain pattern that allows installation of the small cells into directional sectors to further enhance the spectral efficiency while providing a single installation location. In still a further aspect, the design permits the form factor of the base station to meet unique and desirable aesthetic principals such as a modern curved surface and an attractive and distinctive height, width and depth ratio.

Low profile high performance integrated antenna for small cell base station

The present disclosure relates to antenna design for Installation on small cell base stations. The antenna design corresponds to a conformal antenna design that fits into a traditional sun-shield of an outdoor base station. In another aspect, the antenna design supports multiple hands and multiple technologies. In a further aspect the antenna design provides a gain pattern that allows installation of the small cells into directional sectors to further enhance the spectral efficiency while providing a single installation location. In still a further aspect, the design permits the form factor of the base station to meet unique and desirable aesthetic principals such as a modem curved surface and an attractive and distinctive height, width and depth ratio.

An isotropic antenna system internally mounted in the outermost portion of an aircraft wing and in the elevated winglet or similar vertical member of an aircraft wing. The antenna includes a shaped dielectric substrate including a horizontally oriented section located in the horizontally oriented member of the aircraft wing, a vertically oriented section located in the vertically oriented member of the aircraft wing, a first antenna element on the top surface of the dielectric substrate in the vertically oriented member of the aircraft wing, a second antenna element on the top surface and the bottom surface of the dielectric substrate, an antenna feed point coupled to the first antenna element and to the second antenna element, and a Radio Frequency (RF) energy guide coupled to the second antenna element. When the antenna is implemented and installed it does not substantially alter the appearance or aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft.
