A dielectric loaded sleeve monopole antenna has a dielectric loading within the sleeve enables stable impedance in a dynamic operating environment. The use of a dielectric filling in the sleeve portion of the antenna enables tight control of the input impedance over frequency establishing stable broadband operation in challenging operating environments. The effective dielectric constant inside the sleeve of the antenna is designed to exhibit spatial variability. As a result, the sleeve essentially acts as an impedance transformer enhancing control over the input impedance to the antenna. The spatial variability in the dielectric filling may be realized as arrangements of single or multiple dielectric materials machined to synthesize the desired effective dielectric properties.
A high gain, multi-beam lens antenna system for future fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. The lens antenna includes a spherical dielectric lens fed with a plurality of radiating antenna elements. The elements are arranged around the exterior surface of the lens at a fixed offset with a predetermined angular displacement between each element. The number of beams and crossover levels between adjacent beams are determined by the dielectric properties and electrical size of the lens. The spherical nature of the dielectric lens provides a focal surface allowing the elements to be rotated around the lens with no degradation in performance. The antenna system supports wideband and multiband operation with multiple polarizations making it ideal for future 5G wireless networks.

Integrated antenna unit hook, hang eject-inject installation system
An antenna system having a quick release that removably and reliably connects a Remote Radio Unit (RRU) to an Integrated Antenna Unit (IAU), both mechanically and electronically. The RRU has an RRU connector and the antenna has an antenna connector that removably engages with and mates with the RRU connector. The system has a temporary hanging position that enables a user to connect additional electronic connections to the RRU before it is fully coupled with the antenna.
An ultra wideband active antenna platform can be deployed globally. A plug-and-play radio unit is removably attached to an outside of the active antenna. The PAPR can be removably plugged into a docking station to provide different technology or frequency bands specific for customers in different regions without the costly replacement of the whole antenna. In addition, the heat-generating sources (power amplifiers) with heavy heatsink structures are separated from the main antenna body, so that the whole active antenna can be installed separately since the installation weight of the antenna would be reduced.
