  • Publication number: 20190386383
    Abstract: A wide-beam antenna has a modular radiator. The antenna is designed specifically for small cell or DAS applications where wide azimuth beamwidth is required such as an antenna mounted to a building near street level. The main radiator of the antenna is modular where the module can incorporate filtering elements for interference mitigation. The modular main radiator also provides tuning capability for the antenna.

  • Patent number: 10290943
    Abstract: A dielectric loaded sleeve monopole antenna has a dielectric loading within the sleeve enables stable impedance in a dynamic operating environment. The use of a dielectric filling in the sleeve portion of the antenna enables tight control of the input impedance over frequency establishing stable broadband operation in challenging operating environments. The effective dielectric constant inside the sleeve of the antenna is designed to exhibit spatial variability. As a result, the sleeve essentially acts as an impedance transformer enhancing control over the input impedance to the antenna. The spatial variability in the dielectric filling may be realized as arrangements of single or multiple dielectric materials machined to synthesize the desired effective dielectric properties.

  • Patent number: 10256551
    Abstract: A high gain, multi-beam lens antenna system for future fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. The lens antenna includes a spherical dielectric lens fed with a plurality of radiating antenna elements. The elements are arranged around the exterior surface of the lens at a fixed offset with a predetermined angular displacement between each element. The number of beams and crossover levels between adjacent beams are determined by the dielectric properties and electrical size of the lens. The spherical nature of the dielectric lens provides a focal surface allowing the elements to be rotated around the lens with no degradation in performance. The antenna system supports wideband and multiband operation with multiple polarizations making it ideal for future 5G wireless networks.

  • Publication number: 20170358842
    Abstract: An antenna system has high capacity, continuous mobile coverage that is especially beneficial in stadium style venues. The use of a low profile, rail mounted antenna system and the abundance of hand and safety rails enable coverage throughout the venue. The system increases the density of communications antennas throughout the stadium providing significantly enhanced mobile voice and data service to a higher number of users over traditional stadium technology.
