An antenna assembly and method are disclosed. The antenna assembly comprises: a printed circuit board assembly having a radiating element layer and a choke structure, the choke structure having a central conductor and a shielding structure, wherein the central conductor comprises at least a portion of the radiating element layer. By providing a printed circuit board assembly having a radiating element layer and a choke structure which utilises a portion of the radiating element layer, the manufacture of the radiating elements is simplified.

A connector for coupling a coaxial cable () to a strip line comprises a first plate () to be arranged above a conductor () of the strip line to which a center conductor () of the coaxial cable () is soldered, the first plate () including: a first solder portion () to which a braid () of the coaxial cable () is soldered; and an aperture () formed adjacent to the first solder portion () and configured to prevent heat propagation of a solder point of the first solder portion () and the braid () of the coaxial cable () and to expose a solder point of the conductor () of the strip line and the center conductor () of the coaxial cable (), wherein a biggest dimension of the aperture () is shaped to be less than 5% of highest frequency wavelength.

A crossed polarization antenna system including a substantially flat and rectangular reflector and at least one radiating cell carried by the reflector, each cell including at least two first conductor elements assembled tail-to-tail and energized by a first external power supply forming a first dipole. Each radiating cell includes two second conductor elements mounted in exactly the same way as the first elements and energized by a second external power supply forming a second dipole. The conductor elements are V-shape bent elements with the second elements mounted orthogonally to the first elements. Applications include mobile telephones.
