Abstract

An active dual-band antenna arrangement ( 100 ), comprising a plurality of antenna elements ( 4 ), each with a transceiver connected thereto, wherein two antenna arrays ( 1, 2 ) are provided for the two frequency bands (B 3, B 7 ), wherein a first antenna array ( 1 ) processes the transmit band of the first frequency band (B 3 ) and the receive frequency band of the second frequency band (B 7 ), and wherein a second antenna array ( 2 ) processes the transmit frequency band of the second frequency band (B 7 ) and the receive frequency band of the first frequency band (B 3 ).

Claims (25)

1 . An active dual-band antenna arrangement, comprising

a plurality of antenna elements, wherein either each of the antenna elements is connected to a transceiver or several interconnected antenna elements are connected to a transceiver,

first and second antenna arrays for a first and second frequency band, respectively,

wherein the first antenna array processes a transmit band of the first frequency band and a receive frequency band of the second frequency band, and

wherein the second antenna array processes a transmit frequency band of the second frequency band and a receive frequency band of the first frequency band.

2 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first and second antenna arrays are arranged vertically.

3 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first and second antenna arrays are arranged vertically and wherein each antenna array is an 8-column×6-row array.

4 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein each of the transceivers of the antenna elements comprises a duplex unit that is set up for the purpose of separating an input channel and an output channel from one another.

5 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 2 , wherein each transceiver further comprises at least one filter and at least one amplifier.

6 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the filter is an FBAR (Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) filter or a BAW (Bulk Acoustic Wave) filter or a SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) filter.

7 - 8 . (canceled)

9 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the antenna arrangement comprises a preprocessing unit that is set up for the purpose of carrying out an FDD (Frequency-Division Duplexing) massive MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) operation.

10 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 2 , wherein each of the transceivers comprises a duplex unit configured to separate an input channel and an output channel from one another.

11 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 3 , wherein each of the transceivers comprises a duplex unit configured to separate an input channel and an output channel from one another.

12 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 5 , wherein each transceiver further comprises at least one filter and at least one amplifier.

13 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 12 , wherein the filter is an FBAR (Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) filter or a BAW filter or a SAW filter.

14 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 11 , wherein each transceiver further comprises at least one filter and at least one amplifier.

15 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 14 , wherein the filter is an FBAR (Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) filter or a BAW filter or a SAW filter.

16 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the antenna arrangement comprises a preprocessing unit that is set up for the purpose of carrying out an FDD massive MIMO operation.

17 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the antenna arrangement comprises a preprocessing unit that is set up for the purpose of carrying out an FDD massive MIMO operation.

18 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the antenna arrangement comprises a preprocessing unit that is set up for the purpose of carrying out an FDD massive MIMO operation.

19 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 10 , wherein the antenna arrangement comprises a preprocessing unit that is set up for the purpose of carrying out an FDD massive MIMO operation.

20 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 11 , wherein the antenna arrangement comprises a preprocessing unit that is set up for the purpose of carrying out an FDD massive MIMO operation.

21 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 12 , wherein the antenna arrangement comprises a preprocessing unit that is set up for the purpose of carrying out an FDD massive MIMO operation.

22 . The antenna arrangement as set forth in claim 13 , wherein the antenna arrangement comprises a preprocessing unit that is set up for the purpose of carrying out an FDD massive MIMO operation.
