Abstract
A clip for securing a radiating arm to a printed circuit boards of a radio frequency antenna element of a base station antenna. The radiating arm may be configured to receive signals or radiate signals from a feed network associated with the at least one RF antenna member. The radiating arm can be secured to the printed circuit board without the use of solder or adhesives.
Claims20
A clip for securing at least one radiating arm to at least one antenna member, the clip comprising:
- a central body;
- and
- one or more retaining assemblies extending radially from the central body, wherein at least one of the one or more retaining assemblies is configured to be connected to the at least one radiating arm, the at least one radiating arm being configured to radiate a signal from a feed network associated with the at least one antenna member.
An apparatus comprising:
- a clip configured to be connected to at least one first radiating arm and at least one radiating element the at least one radiating element including:
- a first printed circuit board and
- a second printed circuit board coupled to the first printed circuit board,
- wherein the at least one first radiating arm is configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal, or radiate a radio frequency (RF) signal from a feed network of at least one of the first or second printed circuit boards.
