    Abstract: Base station antennas are provided herein. A base station antenna includes consecutive first, second, third, and fourth columns of radiating elements that are configured to transmit in a first frequency band. In some embodiments, the first and third columns are further configured to transmit in a second frequency band that is different from the first frequency band as a first MIMO pair, and the second and fourth columns are further configured to transmit in the second frequency band as a second MIMO pair. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the first and second columns are fed together and are further configured to transmit in a second frequency band as a first MIMO pair, and the third and fourth columns are fed together and are further configured to transmit in the second frequency band as a second MIMO pair. Related methods of operation are also provided.

    Abstract: A base station antenna includes a backplane and a plurality of radiating elements that extend forwardly from the backplane. The antenna further includes a plurality of feed boards, and each of the feed boards has a respective group of one or more of the radiating elements mounted thereon. The antenna also includes a calibration port and a calibration circuit that has a calibration combiner that has an output that is coupled to the calibration port and a plurality of directional couplers that are coupled to the calibration combiner. At least a first portion of a first of the first directional couplers is implemented on a first of the feed boards.

    Abstract: Base station antennas include a plurality of multiplexer filters and a multi-column array of radiating elements that includes a plurality of sub-arrays. Each filter may have a first and second ports that are configured to pass RF signals in respective first and second frequency bands and a third common port that is coupled to a respective one of a plurality of sub-arrays. These antennas also include first frequency band ports that are coupled to the first ports of respective subsets of the multiplexer filters and second frequency band ports that are coupled to the second ports of at least some of the multiplexer filters. The antenna may operate as a MIMO sector antenna in the first frequency band and as a sector-splitting antenna in the second frequency band.
