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.

A modular radar system comprises an antenna assembly, a support structure to which the antenna assembly is mounted, and a set of modular radar subsystems. The antenna assembly comprises an antenna array, an antenna enclosure to which the antenna array is attached and which is configured to house the antenna array and to distribute communications signals and power signals to the antenna array, and an antenna enclosure interface configured to receive inputs to and provide outputs from, the antenna array. The support structure positions the antenna array at an orientation and elevation for antenna operation. The set of modular radar subsystems is separate from the support structure and in operable communication with the antenna enclosure interface and comprises a data processing subsystem, a cooling subsystem, and an AC power subsystem supplying power to the antenna enclosure, the data processing subsystem, the cooling subsystem and to a DC power conversion subsystem.

An antenna module includes: an antenna-radio unit comprising an antenna and a radio transceiver in an integrated unit; a foundation plate configured for mounting to a monopole; a bottom plate mounted above the foundation plate to form a first air gap; a support member that extends upwardly from the bottom plate, the antenna-radio unit mounted to the support member; an upper plate mounted to an upper end of the support member; a fan unit mounted to the upper plate; a lower cap mounted above the upper plate; an upper cap mounted above the lower cap to form a second air gap; and a shroud that surrounds and conceals the antenna-radio unit and the support member.

Various cellular plate assemblies are described. A plate may be present having a first side and a second side. Port connectors can be arranged on the first side of the radio plate. Each port connector is configured to be connected with a different port of a cellular radio or cellular antenna system. Cable ports can arranged on the second side of the radio plate. Each cable port can be connected with a corresponding radio port connector of the plurality of radio port connectors. Further, each cable port is keyed differently such that only a particular keyed cable assembly can be mated with the cable port.

The present invention relates to a tower comprising multifunction smart node and interactive kiosk for use with a modular, multipurpose tower, to be used in smart city applications, citywide Wi-Fi deployments, video surveillance applications, environmental sensors and other communication venues (wired or wireless) involving wireless network deployments of various wireless technologies. The tower includes modular compartments that can be configured for multiple applications and a central support pole.

Various base station cellular enclosures are detailed herein. An airfoil enclosure housing may be present that defines a cavity for housing a base station cellular antenna. The housing may have a leading edge and a vent that permits air from external the airfoil enclosure housing to enter the cavity of the airfoil enclosure housing. The enclosure may further include a rotatable coupling that attaches the airfoil enclosure housing to a support structure. The rotatable coupling can allow the airfoil enclosure housing to rotate based on wind such that the leading edge faces into the wind.

A wireless access point structure including an antenna housing configured to be mounted on top of a pole. The antenna housing may include a plurality of individual antenna bays. The antenna housing can include a plurality of individual antenna bays. In an arrangement, the housing includes an internal spire having an upper and lower end extending between upper and lower ends of the housing. The spire may be a single piece element or a multi-piece element. At least three dividers or panels are connected along the length of the spire (e.g., at selected spaced locations along a length of the spire). Each divider, when connected to the spire, is substantially transverse to the spire. One or more shrouds (e.g., RF transparent sidewalls) extend between and around adjacent panels and/or the upper and lower ends of the housing to define the antenna bays.

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.

A mounting assembly for cellular communication components includes a support mast and a mast bracket with w-shaped geometry. The mast bracket includes a central body defining a groove to receive the support mast. The mast bracket also includes a first support tab extending from the central body opposite the groove in a first direction. The first support tab defines a first slot. A second support tab extends from the central body opposite the groove in the first direction with the second support tab substantially parallel to the first support tab and defining a second slot. A device bracket is coupled to the mast bracket and comprises an elongated body to receive cellular equipment. A third support tab extends from the elongated body opposite the mating surface and defines a fifth slot. A fastener extends through the first slot, the second slot, and the fifth slot.

The present disclosure is directed to a brace for a mounting frame typically used for mounting antennas to a monopole tower. The brace may include a standoff connection comprising a first standoff bracket and a second standoff bracket; a first angled member attached to the first standoff bracket at a lower end of the first angled member, the first angled member also including a first handrail connector at an upper end of the first angled member; a second angled member attached to the second standoff bracket at a lower end of the second angled member, the second angled member also including a second handrail connector at an upper end of the second angled member; and a crossmember disposed between the upper end of the first angled member and the upper end of the second angled member.
