    Abstract: A base station antenna (BSA) system includes a radio-frequency (RF) generator having a plurality of power-amplifying circuits therein, and an antenna, which includes a plurality of columns of radiating elements. These radiating elements are electrically coupled by RF signal routing to a corresponding plurality of ports of the antenna that receive a corresponding plurality of RF input signals. These RF input signals have respective amplitudes and phases that support the concurrent generation of three spaced-apart RF beams by the antenna and are derived from respective RF signals generated by the plurality of power-amplifying circuits. The RF input signals including: (i) a first RF input signal defined by at least two linearly superposed RF signals of equivalent frequency having unequal combinations of amplitude and phase weighting, and (ii) a second RF input signal defined by at least two linearly superposed RF signals of equivalent frequency having unequal combinations of amplitude and phase weighting.

    Abstract: A cable management system is provided for cellular communications system having a remote radio unit and an antenna where each of the antenna and the remote radio unit include a number of RF ports. A jumper cable assembly connects the RF ports on the antenna to the RF ports on the remote radio unit. The jumper cable assembly includes jumper cables configured to connect the RF ports of the antenna to the RF ports of the remote radio unit. A bracket includes channels where one of the channels receives one of the jumper cables. The position of the channels in the bracket corresponds to the position of the RF ports on the antenna and/or the remote radio unit.
