Abstract
The present invention relates to a sealing member for a base station antenna and a base station antenna comprising the same as well as a method and device for manufacturing the sealing member. The sealing member () is flexible and resilient and is configured to form a seal between an open end () of a radome () and an end cap () of the base station antenna. The sealing member is an elongated sealing strip having two ends, wherein the two ends of the sealing member are lappable with each other, and the sealing member has a groove extending over its entire length, which groove is defined by two side limbs and a bottom limb connecting the two side limbs of the sealing member, wherein the groove is configured to engage with an edge of the open end () of the radome, and wherein the sealing member is configured to be received in an annular recess of the end cap () and isolate an interior of the radome () from the environment. The sealing member can be manufactured cheaply and can be flexibly applied to base station antennas with different sizes.
