Abstract
Disclosed is a telecommunications antenna having a plurality of cloaked low band (LB) and high band (HB) dipoles. The LB and HB dipoles provide cloaking by breaking the dipoles into dipole segments, and providing conductive cloaking elements over the gaps between dipole segments to form a plurality of capacitors along the dipole. The capacitors along the LB dipoles provide a low impedance to LB RF signals and a high impedance to HB signals. The capacitors formed on the HB dipoles provide a low impedance to RF signals and high impedance to harmonics of the LB RF signals. This cross-cloaking of dipoles enables more dense arrangements of LB and HB dipoles on an antenna array face, providing opportunities to arrange, for example, the LB dipoles with an array factor that results in an advantageous fast roll off gain pattern.
