Abstract
An indoor cellular band antenna has an outer metal housing having a 90° inner configuration and a radome positioned over the front of the housing. An antenna dipole is mounted in the housing and includes two dipole members. Each dipole member includes a rectangular dipole element extended transmission balun members and a back mounting plate. An antenna cable extends through the top panel of the housing. An outer conductor of the cable is electrically connected to one of the transmission balun member of one dipole member and an inner conductor is electrically connected to the dipole element of the same dipole member. The inner and outer conductors of the cable are mounted to the dipole member by connectors formed from the dipole member.
