Base station antennas having high directivity radiating elements with balanced feed networks

A radiating element, comprising:

• a feed stalk;
• and
• a first dipole arm, a second dipole arm, a third dipole arm and a fourth dipole arm that are each electrically coupled to the feed stalk,
• wherein an outer segment of the first dipole arm and an outer segment of the second dipole arm are configured to together form a first radiating structure that radiates at a first polarization, and an outer segment of the third dipole arm and an outer segment of the fourth dipole arm are configured to together form a second radiating structure that radiates at the first polarization, and first and second inner portions of each of the first through fourth dipole arms are configured to together form a third radiating structure that radiates at the first polarization when a first RF signal is fed to the radiating element.
