Dual Band Base Station Antenna Systems

Abstract

An analysis of the possibilities of using dualband antennas in cellular radio is presented. Results from simultaneous measurements at 900 MHz and 1800 MHz are presented and analyzed. Based on the measured results, a dual polarized, dual band base station antenna has been designed. Such an antenna proveides the opportunity to replace a 4 antenna space diversity installation with a single antenna, thereby reducing costs and tower space.QCR 20180521</p
