As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the base station antenna 100 comprises a substrate 110 and an antenna sub-array 120. The antenna sub-array 120 comprises a feeding plate 122, a plurality of radiation units 124 and two metal baffles 126. The feeding plate 122 is disposed on the substrate 110. The plurality of radiation units 124 are disposed on the feeding plate 122 along the first direction R and are electrically connected to the feeding plate 122. The two metal baffles 126 are respectively disposed on two sides of the feeding plate 122 along a second direction S perpendicular to the first direction R, and each metal baffle 126 extends along the first direction R. Each metal baffle 126 is provided with an opening slot 50, and the length L of the opening slot 50 of each metal baffle 126 along the first direction R corresponds to a wavelength of a center frequency of the base station antenna 100. The first direction R is the extension direction of the substrate 110 and the feeding plate 122. The feeding plate 122 provides radio frequency signals to the radiating units 124, which are electrically connected to the feeding plate 122, for transmission. and receives radio frequency signals from the radiating units 124, which are electrically connected to the feeding plate 122. In this embodiment, the number of radiation units 124 included in the antenna sub-array 120 may be but not limited to five, and the actual number of radiation units 124 included in the antenna sub-array 120 can be adjusted according to actual requirements.

In an example, the substrate 110 is a reflective plate for reflecting radiation. In an example, the substrate 110 is a part of the housing of the base station antenna 100.

In an embodiment, the propagation velocity (v) of the electromagnetic wave is the product of the frequency (f) of the electromagnetic wave and the wavelength (2) of the electromagnetic wave, and the wave velocity of the electromagnetic wave in the air is approximately 3×10⁸ m/s, so the length L of the opening slot 50 of each metal baffle 126 along the first direction R may be approximately 55 millimeters (mm) when the center frequency of the base station antenna 100 may be 4.15 GHz. Therefore, the length L of the opening slot 50 of each metal baffle 126 along the first direction R may be 0.8 times the wavelength of the center frequency of the base station antenna 100, wherein one times the wavelength is 72 mm.

In an embodiment, the height H of the metal baffle 126 may be greater than the height of each radiation unit 124, so as to improve the isolation of the base station antenna 100, as shown in FIG. 2, wherein the metal baffle 126 completely shades the radiation units 124 in the side view along the second direction S.

In an embodiment, when the metal baffle 126 is provided with only a single opening slot 50, the opening slot 50 of the metal baffle 126 is located at the center position of the metal baffle 126 along the first direction R.

In an embodiment, the metal baffle 126 may be provided with a plurality of opening slots 50, and the greater the number of the opening slots 50 provided within the limited length of the metal baffle 126, the better the convergence of the horizontal beam width of the base station antenna 100. In an example, the number of opening slots 50 provided by the metal baffle 126 may be but not limited to two, as shown in FIG. 3, and the actual number of opening slots 50 provided by the metal baffle 126 can be adjusted according to actual requirements. In addition, the number of opening slots 50 provided by each of the two metal baffles 126 can be the same or different, and can be adjusted according to actual requirements.

In an embodiment, when the metal baffle 126 is provided with a plurality of opening slots 50, the plurality of opening slots 50 of the metal baffle 126 are located symmetrically with respect to the center position of the metal baffle 126 along the first direction R.

In an example, when the number of opening slots 50 provided by the metal baffle 126 is 2N+1, the middle position of the (N+1)th opening slot 50 along the first direction R is located at the center position of the metal baffle 126 along the first direction R, wherein N is a positive integer.

In another example, when the number of opening slots 50 provided by the metal baffle 126 is 2N, the 2N opening slots 50 are located symmetrically along the first direction R with the center position of the metal baffle 126 as the symmetric point, wherein N is a positive integer.

In an embodiment, when the metal baffle 126 is provided with a plurality of opening slots 50 along the first direction R, the distance D between two adjacent opening slots 50 may be equal to 0.25 times the wavelength of the center frequency of the base station antenna 100.
