    Abstract: A Radio Frequency, “RF”, component and a method of making the same. The component comprises a first electrically conductive signal member for conveying an RF signal and a second electrically conductive signal member for conveying an RF signal. The component also comprises a barrier located between the first signal member and the second signal member electromagnetically to shield the first and second signal members from each other. The barrier comprises a first row of electrically conductive shielding members spaced apart along a longitudinal axis of the first row, and a second row of electrically conductive shielding members spaced apart along a longitudinal axis of the second row. Each shielding member comprises a polyhedron. The shielding members of the first row are offset with respect to the shielding members of the second row to prevent a direct line of sight between the first signal member and the second signal member.

    Abstract: A power amplifier cell comprising a first power amplifier, a second power amplifier and a balun. The balun comprises a first inductor and a second inductor that define a first transformer; and a third inductor and a fourth inductor that define a second transformer. The following: (i) a parasitic capacitance of the first power amplifier; (ii) a leakage inductance of the first transformer; and (iii) a capacitive coupling between the first inductor and the second inductor, contribute to a first impedance matching circuit for the first power amplifier. Also, the following (iv) a parasitic capacitance of the second power amplifier; (v) a leakage inductance of the second transformer; and (vi) a capacitive coupling between the third inductor and the fourth inductor, contribute to a second impedance matching circuit for the second power amplifier.

    Abstract: A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system for a mobile cellular network and method is described. The MIMO antenna system includes an array of dual-polarization patch antennas each having first and second polarization feed-points, a first polarization radio chain and a second polarization radio chain. The MIMO antenna system includes a beamformer coupled to the first and second polarization radio chains. The beamformer includes a beamformer channel for a respective feedpoint and further includes a transmit amplifier and a detector (coupler) coupled to a transmit amplifier output. In one mode of operation, a signal is transmitted via the first polarization feed-point of a dual-polarisation patch antennas and a replica of the transmitted signal may be sensed using the coupler at the output of the transmit amplifier and routed via the second polarization radio chain to a digital predistortion module. The digital pre-distortion module is configured to digitally pre-distort a signal for transmission dependent on the replica of the RF signal.
