Abstract
A cellular antenna having at least one MIMO array has at least a first group of elements arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns and at least a second group of elements arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns. The first group and the second groups are arranged at least partially side-by side on said antenna. The elements of the first group are arranged in at least one vertical column of elements that is exclusive to elements of the first group. The elements of the second group are arranged in at least one vertical column of elements that is exclusive to elements of the second group. The antenna includes at least one separate common vertical column of elements, that includes elements of both said first group and the second group of elements.
Claims22
Acellular antenna, having at least one MIMO array, the MIMO array comprising:
- at least a first group of elements arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns;
- and
- at least a second group of elements arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns,
- wherein said first group and said second groups are arranged at least partially side-by side on said antenna,
- wherein said elements of said first group are arranged in at least one vertical column of elements that is exclusive to elements of said first group,
- wherein said elements of said second group are arranged in at least one vertical column of elements that is exclusive to elements of said second group, and
- wherein said antenna includes at least one separate common vertical column of elements, that includes elements of both said first group and said second group of elements.
A cellular antenna having at least one MIMO array, the MIMO array comprising:
- at least a first group of elements arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns;
- and
- at least a second group of elements arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns,
- wherein said first group and said second group are arranged at least partially side-by side on said antenna, and with said first group being vertically offset from said second group,
- wherein said elements of said first group are arranged in at least one vertical column of elements that is exclusive to elements of said first group,
- wherein said elements of said second group are arranged in at least one vertical column of elements that is exclusive to elements of said second group, and
- wherein said antenna includes at least one separate common vertical column of elements, that includes elements of both said first group and said second group of elements.
