Abstract:
A small cell base station antenna includes a tubular reflector that has at least first through fourth faces that each face in different directions. The antenna further includes first through fourth arrays of radiating elements that are mounted on the respective first through fourth faces of the tubular reflector. The antenna also includes a passive beamforming network that has first through fourth outputs that are coupled to the respective first through fourth arrays of radiating elements.
