1. A multi-band base station antenna, comprising:
a reflector;
a first array of first frequency band cross-dipole radiating elements mounted on the reflector;
a second array of second frequency band cross-dipole radiating elements mounted on the reflector, where the lowest frequency in the second frequency band exceeds the highest frequency in the first frequency band; and
a plurality of parasitic elements, where a first of the parasitic elements comprises a plurality of conductive segments and a plurality of metallization tracks, where the metallization tracks are narrower than the conductive segments, and each metallization track electrically connects a respective pair of the conductive segments.
