Base Station Antenna for Lowering Wind Loads

A base station antenna for lowering wind loads, the base station antenna comprising:

• an antenna housing having a front surface, a rear surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface;
• a top end cover and a bottom end cover, the top end cover and the bottom end cover being arranged at an upper end and a lower end of the antenna housing to define an interior cavity;
• and a radiating element located within the interior cavity and configured to transmit and receive radio frequency signals, wherein a dog bone-type cross-sectional profile is formed by the front surface, the rear surface, the first side surface, and the second side surface of the antenna housing, and the dog bone-type cross-sectional profile comprises:
• a first circular arc section transiting to the first side surface from an intermediate section of the front surface in a forward protruding manner, and a second circular arc section transiting to the second side surface from the intermediate section of the front surface in a forward protruding manner;
• and
• a third circular arc section transiting to the first side surface from an intermediate section of the rear surface in a rearward protruding manner, and a fourth circular arc section transiting to the second side surface from the intermediate section of the rear surface in a rearward protruding manner.
