Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a dual-polarized antenna array including a first BAVA, a second BAVA and a cradle assembly. The cradle assembly includes first, second and third U-channel modules connected via first and second frame portions. The first U-channel module, the second U-channel module, and the first frame portion receive first, second and third edge portions of a substrate of the first BAVA, respectively. The second U-channel module, the third U-channel module, and the second frame portion receive first, second and third edge portions of a substrate of the second BAVA, respectively. When received within the cradle assembly, the substrate of the first BAVA is oriented perpendicular to the substrate of the second BAVA. The first BAVA is a vertical polarization input and the second BAVA is a horizontal polarization input.
