Abstract
A base station system may include at least one base station radio, at least one antenna, the at least one antenna including at least a first antenna comprising a linear array of antenna elements arranged in a vertical plane, and at least a one antenna distribution network for distributing radio frequency (RF) signals as component RF signals across the linear array of antenna elements of the at least the first antenna to form at least one beam in an elevation plane. In one example, the at least the one antenna feed network applies amplitude and phase weights to the component RF signals, wherein the amplitude and phase weights are selected to minimize RF coupling between the at least the first antenna and passive intermodulation sources in a near-field of the at least the first antenna.
