  • Publication number: 20220123466
    Abstract: A feed network includes a first power divider, a delay line, a 90° electric bridge and a second power divider. The first power divider converts an input signal of the feed network into a first signal and a second signal, transmits the first signal to the delay line, and transmits the second signal to the 90° electric bridge directly. The delay line changes a phase of the first signal and transmits the first signal to the 90° electric bridge. The 90° electric bridge converts the received first signal and the received second signal into two signals having a same phase but different amplitudes, transmits one of the two signals to the second power divider, and outputs the other one of the two signals to a first radiator directly. The second power divider outputs the one of the two signals to a second radiator.

  • Publication number: 20190288406
    Abstract: The invention discloses an antenna feed structure and a base station antenna. The base station antenna comprises a plane reflector and at least one antenna feed structure installed thereat. The antenna feed structure comprises a radiator, an antenna feed balun and an antenna feed board. The antenna feed balun comprises one end connected to the radiator, and another end passing through the antenna feed board to connect the ground. In operation, an excitation signal is transferred from the antenna feed board via the antenna feed balun to the radiator. The present invention can be utilized to enhance the performance of antenna radiation, and improve an antenna cross polarization ratio, facilitating an increase in an antenna gain, increasing the base station coverage and optimizing the electrical characteristics of an antenna.

  • Patent number: 9865919
    Abstract: A feed network for use with an antenna array includes at least first and second RF inputs, a combiner network and a beamforming network. In some examples, additional RF inputs are provided. Each RF input corresponds to a sub-band. The first RF input for a first sub-band signal is coupled to a first sub-band parameter control; the second RF input for the second sub-band signal is coupled to a second sub-band parameter control. The combiner network is coupled to the first sub-band parameter control and to the second sub-band parameter control. The combiner network also has at least one output comprising a combination of the first sub-band signal and the second sub-band signal. The beamforming network is coupled to the combiner network and has a plurality of RF outputs. The first and second sub-band parameter controls are independently adjustable.
