Abstract: The present invention relates to a reflector 20; 30; 40 for use in an antenna 10; 50. The reflector 20; 30; 40 is arranged to be used as an earth plane of the antenna 10 and the reflector is corrugated to form current pockets. The reflector 20; 30; 40 comprises at least two separate parts 21, 22; 21, 22, 31, 32; 41, 42, and the parts are electrically coupled to each other to commonly form the earth plane of the antenna 10; 50. The invention also relates to an antenna including a reflector, and to a method for manufacturing a reflector.

Abstract: An antenna assembly and a method of mounting such an assembly are disclosed. A first and a second assembly portion are joined together, wherein the assembly portions each comprise a elongated reflector body serving as a reflector for electromagnetic power radiated by the antenna assembly portion, and a set of antenna element receiving means located in a linear row along a longitudinal direction of the reflector body for respectively receiving an antenna element, and side portions along the long sides of the said reflector body. The assembly method comprises the step of fastening the first and second assembly portions to each other along a respective side portion of the said assembly portions so as to form a dual array antenna assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antenna arrangement connectable to a transceiver for transmitting and receiving RF signals in at least two separate frequency bands. The antenna arrangement has at least two sets of antenna elements arranged on a reflector, and the antenna elements are arranged in an interleaved configuration along a single column. The two separate frequency bands are substantially non-overlapping but relatively close to each other, and the distance between adjacent antenna elements in said column is substantially the same along the column.

Abstract: A dual polarized aperture coupled patch antenna element, including at least one antenna patch and a feeding arrangement, wherein said feeding arrangement comprises: a ground plane including: a first aperture slot and a second aperture slot, where said aperture slots cross each other perpendicularly; a feeding plane of sheet metal including: a first antenna port for feeding microwave energy via a first feeding junction into a first pair of feed lines which extend in parallel along said first aperture slot, on each side thereof; a second antenna port for feeding microwave energy via a second feeding junction into a second pair of feed lines which extend in parallel along said second aperture slot, on each side thereof. The antenna element is distinguished in that said feed lines cross each other at a mutual distance in more than one point.
