摘要: In one embodiment, an antenna assembly in a cellular network has a radome that houses a plurality of antenna arrays and an electronics module. The electronics module has a weatherproof housing that encloses electronics for processing signals received by and transmitted from a first of the antenna arrays. The electronics module is physically removeably connected to an outer surface of the radome and electrically removeably connected to the first antenna array, such that the electronics module can be removed without (i) disrupting service to other antenna arrays and (ii) removing the antenna assembly from the cell tower on which the antenna assembly is installed.

摘要: An antenna assembly includes: a plurality of antenna-radio units, each of the antenna-radio units comprising an antenna and a radio transceiver in an integrated unit, each antenna having an external face; and a mounting assembly comprising a foundation, a cap and a spine, the foundation being mounted to a lower end of the spine and the cap mounted to an upper end of the spine. The antenna-radio units are mounted at circumferentially equally spaced locations between the foundation and the cap, with their respective external faces facing radially outwardly. The assembly also includes a plurality of spacers, each spacer located between two adjacent antenna-radio units, and each antenna-radio unit between located between two adjacent spacers, each of the spacers including an arcuate external surface. The external faces of the antennas and the external surfaces of the spacers generally define a cylinder.

摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure are related to digital display devices and base stations such as small cell base stations, which may include at least one antenna and a radio. More specifically, digital display devices are being increasingly deployed in airports, along roads and highways, in shopping malls, in rural or highly urban areas where additional cellular coverage is desirable. These digital display devices provide desirable mounting locations for cellular equipment because they are already powered. One or more components of the base station may be concealed from view by a concealment device to satisfy aesthetic or design requirements. In some aspects, this concealment device may be a fabric radome. In some aspects, the concealment device may be the digital display device itself, because the digital display device is dimensioned such that at least some components of the base station may be hidden behind or within the digital display device.

摘要: A cell site sector includes: a mounting frame; an RF antenna mounted to one side of the mounting frame; and at least one (RRU mounted to a second, opposed side of the mounting frame md operationally connected with the antenna. The RRU and the RF antenna have horizontal width and depth dimensions, the width dimension art g greater than the depth dimension, wherein the width dimension of the RRU is generally parallel with the width dimension of the RF antenna.

摘要: An RF interconnection module includes a housing having a perimeter, a capacitive coupling, and a float gasket disposed about the perimeter of the housing. When the housing is mounted in an opening, the float gasket is positioned between the housing and the opening. The float gasket may be made of an elastomer material and may include a plurality of outwardly extending ribs for movable securing the gasket in the opening. In addition, a mount assembly includes a bracket assembly attachable to a tower-mounted equipment and at least one jumper cable having at least one ohmic connector for connecting to the tower-mounted equipment and at least one capacitive connector. The capacitive connector may comprise an RF interconnection module mounted on the bracket assembly. The bracket assembly may be adjustable to accommodate tower mounted equipment of various sizes.
