Base station antennas include an externally accessible active antenna module releasably coupled to a recessed segment that is over a chamber in the base station antenna and that is longitudinally and laterally extending along and across a rear of a base station antenna housing. The base station antenna housing has a passive antenna assembly that cooperates with the active antenna module.

Base station antennas having an active antenna module and related devices and methods

Base station antennas include an externally accessible active antenna module releasably coupled to a rear of the housing using a field installable mounting system/kit with a mounting frame and active antenna module mounting brackets. The base station antenna housing has a passive antenna assembly that cooperates with the active antenna module.

The present application relates to an antenna assembly for a base station antenna, a base station antenna arrangement and a base station antenna. The antenna assembly has a reflector, which has a longitudinal extent, a front side and a rear side opposite the front side, where the front side is configured for radiating elements to be arranged thereon, wherein, the reflector has a first longitudinal section residing in a first plane and a second longitudinal section residing in a second plane that is adjacent to the first longitudinal section, where the first plane is rearward of the second plane. The properties of the base station antenna arrangement and the base station antenna may be improved through the antenna assembly.

The present disclosure is directed to a mounting bracket adapted for adjusting the downtilt of an antenna. The mounting bracket includes a first member and a second member. The first member is coupled to the second member at one end via a first pair of securing features and is coupled to an antenna mounting bracket at an opposing end via a second pair of securing features. The first member is configured to rotate about the first and second pairs of securing features relative to the second member and antenna mounting bracket, respectively. The second member includes two slots on opposing sides that extend longitudinally along a length of the second member in a vertical direction, each of the first pair of securing features extends through and is configured to slide within a respective slot such that, when an antenna is secured to the antenna mounting bracket, sliding the first pair of securing features in a first direction increases an angle of downtilt for the antenna and sliding the first pair of securing features in a second direction decreases the angle of downtilt for the antenna. The second member is configured to be secured to a mounting structure. Other adjustable downtilt antenna mounting brackets and related assemblies are described herein.

The present invention relates to a cable lead-out system, configured to route at least one cable from inside of a device to outside of the device, wherein the cable lead-out system comprises: a first pressing piece having at least one through hole for leading out the cable; a second pressing piece having at least one through hole for leading out the cable; and a seal having a base sandwiched between the first pressing piece and the second pressing piece with two opposite sides thereof, and being deformable when being pressed by the first pressing piece and the second pressing piece, having the base comprising at least one through hole for leading out the cable, and at least one protrusion that protrudes from at least one of the two sides of the base, and each of the at least one protrusion being disposed around a through hole of the base, whereby the through hole of the base passes throughout the protrusion, wherein each of the at least one protrusion completely passes through a corresponding through hole of the first pressing piece or a corresponding through hole of the second pressing piece. The cable lead-out system can protect the cable sheaths from being scratched by metal parts.

The present disclosure relates to a mounting assembly and a mounting kit comprising such a mounting assembly for a base station antenna, wherein the mounting assembly has first and second connection parts, an effective length therebetween is related to the mechanical tilt of the base station antenna, and the effective length is continuously adjustable. The mounting assembly comprises a connecting rod mechanism having a first pair of connecting rods, a second pair of connecting rods, and a threaded connection device, wherein the threaded connection device connects two relatively movable hinged connection parts, the distance between the two hinged connection parts can be continuously adjusted by screwing the threaded connection device, so that the effective length can be continuously adjusted to realize continuous adjustment of the mechanical tilt of the base station antenna.

Base station antennas include a reflector, a first array of cross-polarized radiating elements that are mounted to extend forwardly from the reflector, and a parasitic assembly. The parasitic assembly includes a base that is mounted on the reflector, a horizontal component shaping element, and a forwardly projecting member that projects forwardly from the base that is coupled between the base and the horizontal component shaping element. The horizontal component shaping element may extend substantially parallel to a plane defined by the reflector and may include a proximate side that is directly connected to the forwardly projecting member and a distal side that is opposite the proximate side. The distal side of is only electrically connected to the reflector through the proximate side.
