Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) base station antenna (100) for handling beamforming communications towards areas that are below and above the base station antenna, the base station antenna comprising: an antenna mounting frame (101) an elongated base portion (103) and a tilted base portion (105) extending from the elongated base portion (103), wherein the tilted base portion (105) has a first planar surface (107) and a second planar surface (109), the first planar surface (107) and the second planar surface (109) facing away from each other, wherein the first planar surface (107) is directed downwardly and wherein the second planar surface (109) is directed upwardly; a first array of antenna elements (111) arranged on or within the first planar surface (107), the first array of antenna elements (111) being configured for generating a downward transmission beam; and a second array of antenna elements (113) arranged on or within the second planar surface (109), the second array of antenna elements (113) being configured for generating an upward transmission beam.
