Abstract
A multiple sector cell-site antenna includes a first antenna oriented to serve a first sector, the first antenna electrically connected to a first transceiver group; a second antenna oriented to serve a second sector adjacent to the first sector, the second antenna electrically connected to the first transceiver group; and a single enclosure covering both the first antenna and the second antenna. By providing at least two multiple sector cell-site antennas in a system, the total number of enclosures is reduced while providing redundancy and diversity within the cells.
