Abstract: A standard RF connector assembly for wireless communications antenna system. The RF connector assembly includes a first connector housing incorporating an RF connector, the housing including a first latch plate attached to the housing and has at least two toggle mounts. A toggle is attached to each toggle mount and each toggle includes a metal band pivotably attached to the toggle. A second connector housing incorporating a second RF connector includes a second latch plate attached to the second housing and has at least two tabs configured to be engaged by the metal bands to secure the first and second housing into latched engagement with each other.

Abstract: A multiple beam antenna system is described. The system may include a mounting structure, a first wireless access antenna, a second wireless access antenna, and a radio frequency lens. The first and second wireless access antennas may be mounted to the mounting structure. Columns of radiating elements of the first and second wireless access antennas may be aligned with the radio frequency lens. The radio frequency lens may be modular in a longitudinal or radial direction, or in both directions. The radio frequency lens may include a plurality of compartments arranged to form a first cylinder made up of concentric, coaxial cylinders and a plurality of dielectric materials in at least some of the plurality of compartments.

Abstract: A housing for an antenna has an end member having a radome seat and a back extension. The end member also has at least one actuator housing with an external opening and an internal opening. The end member has no through passage from its external side to its internal side, other than the opening of the actuator housing, such that upon assembly with a back and a radome, the antenna is water-tight. A retention assembly has an internal retaining member and an internal retaining member receiver. An actuator has an external actuation interface, and is mounted in the actuator housing to be water-tight. The retention assembly has a first position and a second position. The first position engages the internal retaining member with the internal retention receiver such as to maintain a closed water-tight engagement with the back and the radome. The retention assembly has a second, released position, that allows disengagement of the end member from a reflector tray.

Abstract: An antenna comprising a reflective surface; and an array of dipole antenna elements disposed adjacent to the reflective surface. Each antenna element has a pair of arms which together define a dipole axis, and the dipole axis is tilted at an acute angle with respect to the reflective surface. The pair of arms may be dipole arms, or may be Yagi director arms. In some embodiments the dipole axis is tilted at an acute angle with respect to a feed axis. In some embodiments the antenna element comprises a feed portion defining a feed axis; and the feed portion has a mounting portion which is tilted at an acute angle with respect to the feed axis.
