Abstract: Methods of powering a radio that is mounted on a tower of a cellular base station are provided in which a direct current (“DC”) power signal is provided to the radio over a power cable and a voltage level of the output of the power supply is adjusted so as to provide a substantially constant voltage at a first end of the power cable that is remote from the power supply. Related cellular base stations and programmable power supplies are also provided.

Abstract: A small cell base station antenna includes a first backplane, a first linear array of radiating elements extending forwardly from the first backplane, a second backplane that is opposite the first backplane and a second linear array of radiating elements extending forwardly from the second backplane. The first backplane is inclined at a first oblique angle with respect to a vertical axis and the second backplane is inclined at a second oblique angle with respect to the vertical axis.

Abstract: Tower systems suitable for use at cellular base stations include a tower, an antenna mounted on the tower, a remote radio head mounted on the tower and a power supply. A power cable having a power supply conductor and a return conductor is connected between the power supply and the remote radio head. A shunt capacitance unit that is separate from the remote radio head that is electrically coupled between the power supply conductor and the return conductor of the power cable.

Abstract: A ribbon cable includes: a plurality of elongate signal-carrying members, the plurality of signal-carrying members arranged in a generally planar configuration; and a jacket that surrounds the signal-carrying members, the jacket having first and second opposed side edges. Each of the first and second side edges includes interlocking features configured to interlock with an adjacent ribbon cable with interlocking features. First and second ribbon cables can be formed into a chain, in which the interlocking features of the first side edge of the first ribbon cable are interlocked with the interlocking features of the second side edge of the second ribbon cable to form the chain. An assembly may include a structural member and a chain of ribbon cables as described above. In some embodiments, the structural member is a pole (such as the leg of an antenna tower), and the chain of ribbon cables entirely encircles the pole.
