A mechanical tilt mounting system for a base station antenna includes a fixed pivot that connects the antenna to a support structure. The antenna is rotatable about the fixed pivot. An adjustable control arm has a first end connected to the antenna and a second end connected to the support structure. Extension and contraction of the adjustable arm rotates the antenna about the fixed pivot to change the angle of inclination of the antenna.

A base station antenna includes a radio frequency (RF) lens positioned to receive electromagnetic radiation from a radiating element, the RF lens including an RF energy focusing material and a first heat dissipation channel that extends through the RF energy focusing material of the RF lens and contains a cooling fluid.

The present disclosure describes an antenna mount kit. The antenna mount kit includes an antenna mount and a pipe clamp coupled to the antenna mount. The pipe clamp includes a front shell half and a rear shell half, the front shell half and the rear shall half having a front shell half inner surface and a rear shell half inner surface configured to cooperate with each other such that the mounting structure can be secured within the pipe clamp, at least two threaded bolts, a plurality of washers, and a plurality of nuts. The antenna mount kit may further include at least two isolation fasteners. The front shell half inner surface and the rear shell half inner surface each include a plurality of jagged teeth formed of a non-metallic material, at least two front shell bolt apertures through the front shell half, and at least two rear shell half bolt apertures through the rear shell half. The front shell half bolt apertures align with the rear shell half bolt apertures when securing the mounting structure within the pipe clamp. Antenna mount assemblies and methods for reducing external passive intermodulation from an antenna mount kit are also provided.

A lensed base station antenna includes a first array that includes a plurality of first radiating elements that are configured to transmit respective sub-components of a first RF signal, a second array that includes a plurality of second radiating elements that are configured to transmit respective sub-components of a second RF signal and an RF lens structure positioned to receive electromagnetic radiation from a first of the first radiating elements and from a first of the second radiating elements. A first subset of the first radiating elements are aligned along a first vertical axis and a second subset of the first radiating elements are aligned along a second vertical axis that is spaced apart from the first vertical axis. The first and second arrays each include a single radiating element per horizontal row.
