Reflector assemblies for active antenna units and active antenna units and base station antennas with the reflector assemblies

Abstract

Reflector assemblies suitable for active antenna units and/or base station antennas are provided that include a reflector body and a lip extending about a perimeter of the reflector body. The reflector body can optionally include a plurality of fin structures extending about a least part of a perimeter of the reflector body. The fin structures and/or side walls of the reflector body can be directly exposed to environmental conditions during use. The fin structures, where used, can be shaped channel members that can be formed of sheet metal or provided as separate extruded or die cast members that can be coupled to the reflector body.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
