A distributed antenna device includes a plurality of transmit antenna elements, a plurality of receive antenna elements and a plurality of power amplifiers. One of the power amplifiers is operatively coupled with each of the transmit antenna elements and mounted closely adjacent to the associated transmit antenna element, such that no appreciable power loss occurs between the power amplifier and the associated antenna element. At least one of the power amplifiers is a low noise amplifier and is built into the distributed antenna device for receiving and amplifying signals from at least one of the receive antenna elements. Each said power amplifier is a relatively low power, relatively low cost per watt linear power amplifier chip.

The present invention is an orthomode transducer (OMT) device that allows for dual polarized dual frequency band antenna feed systems. The OMT device includes a waveguide structure having a first end and a second end such that the first end defines a port for receiving signals. The waveguide structure includes an outer wall defining a waveguide chamber therein and the outer wall includes a first cylindrical section proximate the first end. The waveguide structure also includes a second cylindrical section proximate the second end and a region therebetween. At least one longitudinal groove is introduced proximate the second end and extends towards the first end of the waveguide structure. The OMT device further includes at least one waveguide coupled to the outer wall of the waveguide chamber which is in signal communication with the waveguide chamber through an opening in the region of the outer wall.

An ortho-mode transducer has a common port having a longitudinal axis, a single-polarized back port having a longitudinal axis, a transition element connecting the common port and the single-polarized back port, the longitudinal axis of the single-polarized back port being substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the common port; a single-polarized side port, and a hybrid tee waveguide junction connecting the single-polarized side port to the transition element. The hybrid tee waveguide junction includes a balanced pair of side arm waveguides connecting the single-polarized side port to the transition element. The ortho-mode transducer prevents the generation of higher order modes, and ensures high isolation in a compact three-dimensional profile.

A multiple sector cell-site configuration comprises a support frame and a plurality of antennas mounted on the support frame. The antennas include one transmit antenna element and two receive antenna elements for each sector of the multiple sector cell-site. One of the receive antenna elements for each sector of each two adjacent sectors is located in a common housing mounted adjacent a given point on the support frame located substantially along a boundary between the two adjacent sectors. Each of the receive antenna elements mounted in each housing has an offset azimuthal beam directed toward its associated sector, and each of the transmit antenna elements has an azimuthal beam directed toward its associated sector.
