    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a shock-absorbing buffer for a base station antenna. The base station antenna includes a first end portion having a first end surface, a second end portion having a second end surface, and a protruding element which is at least provided on the first end surface and protrudes outward. The shock-absorbing buffer includes an inner buffer member and an outer buffer member. The inner buffer member is configured to at least partially cover the protruding element, the first end portion, and the second end portion, and the outer buffer member is configured to sleeve the inner buffer member and at least partially cover the first end portion and the second end portion. The inner buffer member and the outer buffer member are respectively made into a pre-formed structure from an inflatable air bag, and the inflatable air bag can form a plurality of air columns after being inflated. At least a part of the air columns of the inner buffer member cross each other, or at least a part of the air columns of the outer buffer member cross each other, or at least a part of the air columns of the inner buffer member and at least a part of the air columns of the outer buffer member cross each other, so as to enhance the performance of the shock-absorbing buffer through a synergistic effect.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealing member for a base station antenna and a base station antenna comprising the same as well as a method and device for manufacturing the sealing member. The sealing member (2) is flexible and resilient and is configured to form a seal between an open end (5) of a radome (3) and an end cap (1) of the base station antenna. The sealing member is an elongated sealing strip having two ends, wherein the two ends of the sealing member are lappable with each other, and the sealing member has a groove extending over its entire length, which groove is defined by two side limbs and a bottom limb connecting the two side limbs of the sealing member, wherein the groove is configured to engage with an edge of the open end (5) of the radome, and wherein the sealing member is configured to be received in an annular recess of the end cap (1) and isolate an interior of the radome (3) from the environment. The sealing member can be manufactured cheaply and can be flexibly applied to base station antennas with different sizes.
