Antenna feeding network comprising a coaxial connector
First Claim
1. An antenna feeding network for a multi-radiator base station antenna, said feeding network comprising:
- substantially air filled coaxial lines, each having a central inner conductor and an elongated outer conductor surrounding the central inner conductor;
a coaxial connector for an antenna feeder cable, said connector being connected to at least one of said coaxial lines;
wherein said coaxial connector comprises a body having an attachment portion arranged to extend in parallel and in abutment with a longitudinally extending portion of at least one outer conductor, said attachment portion being attached to said longitudinally extending portion, whereby said body connects electrically with said outer conductors.

Abstract
An antenna feeding network for a multi-radiator base station antenna and an antenna arrangement comprising such a feeding network is provided. The feeding network comprises substantially air filled coaxial lines and a coaxial connector for an antenna feeder cable, the connector being connected to at least one of the coaxial lines. The substantially air filled coaxial lines each have a central inner conductor and an elongated outer conductor surrounding the central inner conductor. The coaxial connector comprises a body having an attachment portion, the attachment portion being attached to, and arranged in abutment with, a portion of at least one outer conductor such that the body connects electrically and mechanically with the outer conductors of the coaxial lines.
