Active antenna units and/or base station antennas are provided that include a reflector body with heat dissipation structures that can be directly exposed to environmental conditions during use. The heat dissipation structures have frequency selective surfaces and can be formed of sheet metal or provided as separate extruded or die cast members that can be coupled to the reflector body.

A radiating element includes a feed stalk and first through fourth dipole arms. An outer segment of the first dipole arm and an outer segment of the second dipole arm are configured to together form a first radiating structure that radiates at a first polarization, an outer segment of the third dipole arm and an outer segment of the fourth dipole arm are configured to together form a second radiating structure that radiates at the first polarization, and first and second inner portions of each of the first through fourth dipole arms are configured to together form a third radiating structure that radiates at the first polarization when a first RF signal is fed to the radiating element.

Base station antennas having high directivity radiating elements with balanced feed networks

An antenna includes a cross-polarized feed signal network configured to convert first and second radio frequency (RF) input feed signals to first and second pairs of cross-polarized feed signals at respective first and second pairs of feed signal output ports. A feed signal pedestal is provided, which is electrically coupled to the first and second pairs of feed signal output ports, and a patch radiating element is provided, which is electrically coupled by the feed signal pedestal to the first and second pairs of feed signal output ports. This patch radiating element may be capacitively coupled to first and second pairs of feed signal lines on the feed signal pedestal, which are electrically connected to the first and second pairs of feed signal output ports.

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.
