Abstract

See full text

Cellular base station antenna concealments, such as palm and tree concealments, utilize artificial branches with nonmetallic (e.g., polymeric) fasteners to avoid loose metal-to-metal connections to mitigate the generation of passive intermodulation (PIM) interference by the branches. Representative embodiments include “palm concealments” with low-PIM artificial palm fronds, and “tree concealments” with low-PIM artificial tree branches. That is, “low-PIM fronds” and “low-PIM tree branches” are two representative examples of “low-PIM branches” illustrating representative embodiments of the invention. The low-PIM palm frond includes a nonmetallic (e.g., polymeric) fasteners and sleeve positioned between a metal frond shaft and a metal frond receiver. The low-PIM tree branch includes nonmetallic (e.g., polymeric) fasteners as the only low-PIM isolators added to conventional tree branch assemblies to avoid PIM generation by the tree branch assembly.
