Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a dual polarized antenna array including a first BAVA (a horizontal polarization input), a second BAVA (a vertical polarization input), and a cradle assembly. The substrates of the first and second BAVAs each include a notched portion. The cradle assembly includes a base plate having four channel modules connected thereto. Edge portions of the substrates of the first and second BAVAs are received by the cradle assembly via channels of the channel modules and apertures of the base plate. The substrates of the BAVAs are interleaved via their notched portions so that the substrate of the second BAVA is an orthogonal orientation relative to the substrate of the first BAVA.
