BASE STATION ANTENNA UNITS HAVING ARRAYS SPANNING MULTIPLE ANTENNAS THAT ARE CONNECTED BY JUMPER CABLES
Base station antenna units include a first and second base station antennas that have respective first and second housings. The first housing includes a top end cap and the second housing includes a bottom end cap. A jumper cable that includes a first connector port is mounted in one of the top end cap or the bottom end cap, and a second connector port that is configured to mate with the first connector port is mounted in the other one of the top end cap or the bottom end cap. A longitudinal axis of the first connector port extends in a vertical direction and a longitudinal axis of the second connector port extends in the vertical direction.
CONVERTIBLE STRAND AND POLE SMALL CELL MOUNTS AND ASSEMBLIES
The present disclosure describes strand mounts for small cell radios. A strand mount may include a top plate, a bottom plate, and opposing side plates that form a housing having an interior cavity dimensioned to fit around one or more small cell radios, a plurality of mounting members, each mounting member coupled to the top and bottom plates within the interior cavity and configured such that a small cell radio can be mounted thereto, and one or more mounting brackets. The strand mount has the dual-capability of being mounted either horizontally on a cable strand or vertically on a pole. Alternative strand mounts and strand mount assemblies are also provided.
Jumper cable assembly
A jumper cable assembly includes: a plurality of jumper cables, each having a first end terminated in a first connector and a second end terminated in a second connector; and a first mounting structure, the first connectors being mounted in the first mounting structure in a fixed arrangement relative to each other, the arrangement matching an arrangement of connectors of one of an antenna and a piece of cellular equipment to facilitate installation of the jumper cable assembly.
Thermal management system for modular antenna housing
An antenna housing configured to house a wireless antenna unit. The antenna housing defines an interior space sized to receive the antenna unit. Inlet and outlet ducting extend through a sidewall of the housing to connect to an internal cooling duct of the antenna unit allowing air to be drawn from outside the housing, through the antenna unit and expelled out of the hosing without intermingling with air in the interior of the housing. Additional airflow paths extend around side and/or rear surfaces antenna unit to provide additional cooling.
METROCELL ANTENNA ASSEMBLIES AND UTILITY POLE ASSEMBLIES AND BASE STATIONS INCLUDING SAME
A metrocell utility pole assembly includes a utility pole, an auxiliary device, and a metrocell antenna assembly. The utility pole has an upper end. The metrocell antenna assembly includes a support and an antenna module. The support is mounted on the upper end of the utility pole. The support includes an elongate post having a post upper end. The elongate post extends upwardly from the upper end of the utility pole to the post upper end. The antenna module includes an enclosure and an antenna. The enclosure defines an enclosure passage extending vertically through the enclosure. The antenna is disposed in the enclosure. The post extends through the enclosure passage. The auxiliary device is mounted on the upper end of the post.
Brackets for mounting antenna cables
A bracket for mounting cables on an antenna pole includes: a pair of L-shaped members, each of the L-shaped members including a main panel, a pair of jaws extending from opposite edges of the main panel, and a flange extending generally perpendicularly to the main panel, wherein the main panel includes a plurality of first mounting apertures, and wherein the flange includes a plurality of second mounting apertures; a pair of rods, each rod extending through a first mounting aperture of each of the L-shaped members; and a securing component that engages each rod to fix the members relative to each other.
USER TERMINAL HOUSING
In one example, a housing for an antenna assembly is described. The housing may include a lower enclosure configured to be coupled to an upper structure to define an internal region. The housing may also include an internal cover configured to be coupled to the lower enclosure to create a first chamber and a second chamber within the internal region.
VERTICALLY STACKED, INTEGRATABLE, MULTIPURPOSE PLATFORM CONFIGURABLE AS WIRELESS BASE STATIONS
An apparatus includes a support frame including lower frame section, at least one intermediate frame section, and an upper frame section. The lower frame section may define a structure-free interior compartment which may contain or house one or more electronics modules. The at least one intermediate frame section may define a structure-free interior compartment which may contain or house one or more electronics modules. The upper frame section may include an upper frame horizontal shelf, a central post coupled with and extending vertically upward from the upper frame horizontal shelf, a top cover coupled with the central post, and one or more peripheral members extending between the upper frame horizontal shelf and the top cover, the upper frame section defining an upper structure-free interior region extending between the central post and the one or more peripheral members. One or more antennas may be adjustably mounted on the central post.
Antenna and glide path array for small footprint aircraft precision approach and landing system
An instrument landing system (ILS) is described. The ILS comprises a plurality of antennas and a plurality of antenna radio units (ARUs). Each ARU of the plurality of ARUs operates to generate a modulated RF signal provided to a different one of the plurality of antennas for transmission. The ILS further comprises a central processing unit that operates to control the ARUs to adjust synchronization between the modulated RF signal provided by the ARUs to the plurality of antennas for transmission.
