Patent ID: 8102084

Claim:
An active antenna array of at least a first transceiver module and of at least a second transceiver module, which are located within or adjacent to an antenna in a mobile communications base-station comprising a power distribution mechanism wherein a first conductor connectable to a first terminal of a power supply unit is connected by at least a first power connection to the at least a first transceiver module: and said first conductor connectable to a first terminal of a power supply unit is further connected by at least, a second power connection to the at least a second transceiver module a second conductor connectable to a second terminal of the power supply unit is connected by at least a third power connection to the at least a second transceiver module and said second conductor connectable to a second terminal of the power supply unit is further connected to a fourth terminal of the at least a second transceiver module, and wherein the first conductor and the second conductor are at least partly bare and rigid, and are routed to the at least a first transceiver module and the at least second transceiver module in a manner separate from each other.
