Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a cable assembly that is adapted to be connected to an antenna and a base unit. The cable assembly may be relatively flat with shielding and structures to reduce ground currents or other interference. Embodiments of the cable assembly include at least two coaxial cables for transmit and receive signals that are separated to reduce crosstalk or other interference. The cable may also include one or more inner cables, such as differential or switching pairs, between the two coaxial cables to provide cables for control, power, switching, or other functions. The inner cables may be positioned in parallel to each other and to each of the coaxial cables. In some embodiments, the inner cables include a first inner cable located at a first end of the inner cables and a second inner cable located at a second end of the inner cables. One coaxial cable may be positioned adjacent and parallel to the first inner cable, which the other coaxial cable may be positioned adjacent and parallel to the second inner cable.
