A broadband dual-polarized planar antenna is proposed for 2G/3G/LTE base stations. The dual-polarized antenna is composed of two perpendicularly crossed bow-tie dipoles. Each bow-tie dipole is excited by a microstrip stub that is directly fed by a coaxial line, making the dual-polarized antenna full planar. Due to the coupling between two crossed bow-tie dipoles, a broad bandwidth is achieved. It is shown that the dual-polarized antenna has a bandwidth of 45% (1.7-2.7 GHz) for return loss >15 dB with an isolation of higher than 30 dB between two polarization input ports. The dual-polarized antenna has a half-power beam width (HPBW) of around 65 ° and an average gain of 8.5 dBi for slant ±45° polarizations. An 8-element dual-polarized planar antenna array is developed for base station applications. A bandwidth of 56% (1.63-2.9 GHz) is obtained for the antenna array. The antenna gain of the array is about 16 dBi and the HPBW is 65±8° for each polarization.

A Broadband Dual-Polarized Planar Antenna for 2G/3G/LTE Base Stations

In this communication, a novel dual-band dual-polarized filtering antenna with high selectivity is proposed. By etching four slots at each side of a square radiating patch, dual operation bands as well as a natural radiation null between the two bands are observed. Another two radiation nulls are generated by introducing a novel feeding structure, which is composed of a microstrip line with open-circuit stepped-impedance resonators (OCSIRs). Thus, a dual-band bandpass filtering response of the realized gain is obtained. Each polarization of the antenna is differentially fed, and the differential port isolation is better than 37 dB. A prototype of the antenna element and a $1\times 4$ array is fabricated and tested to validate our design. Measured results show that the antenna element has dual operation bands of 3.28–3.71 and 4.8–5.18 GHz for VSWR < 1.5. Besides, a high out-of-band gain-suppression level which reaches 17.7 dB is also obtained. Good performance of the proposed antenna makes it a promising candidate for 5G sub-6 GHz base station systems.

Differentially Fed, Dual-Band Dual-Polarized Filtering Antenna With High Selectivity for 5G Sub-6 GHz Base Station Applications

This paper presents a dual-polarized patch antenna with quasi-elliptic bandpass responses. The proposed antenna is mainly composed of a feeding network, a driven patch, and a stacked patch, with its entire height being $0.09\lambda $ . The feeding network consists of two orthogonal H-shaped lines that coupled to the driven patch, each for one polarization. The elaborately-designed feeding lines not only ensure a sharp roll-off rate at the lower band edge, but also help to achieve low cross polarization and high isolation between two feeding ports. On the other hand, the upper stacked patch provides improved suppression levels at the upper stopband and also an enhanced gain within passband. Consequently, a compact dual-polarized antenna with satisfying filtering performance is obtained, without using extra filtering circuits. For demonstration, an antenna is designed to fit the specification of LTE band (2.49–2.69 GHz). The implemented antenna achieves an average a gain of 9 dBi, a cross-polarization ratio of 29 dB, an isolation of 35 dB within LTE band. The out-of-band suppression level is more than 40 dB within the 2G and 3G frequency bands from 1.71–2.17 GHz. It can be used as the antenna elements in multiband base station antenna arrays to reduce the mutual coupling.

Dual-Polarized Filtering Antenna With High Selectivity and Low Cross Polarization

Crossed dipole antennas have been widely developed for current and future wireless communication systems. They can generate isotropic, omnidirectional, dual-polarized (DP), and circularly polarized (CP) radiation. Moreover, by incorporating a variety of primary radiation elements, they are suitable for single-band, multiband, and wideband operations. This article presents a review of the designs, characteristics, and applications of crossed dipole antennas along with the recent developments of single-feed CP configurations. The considerations of profile miniaturization, radiation pattern control, bandwidth enhancement, and multiband operation are emphasized.

Crossed Dipole Antennas: A review.

A comprehensive review concerning the geometry, the manufacturing technologies, the materials, and the numerical techniques, adopted for the analysis and design of wideband and ultrawideband (UWB) antennas for wireless applications, is presented. Planar, printed, dielectric, and wearable antennas, achievable on laminate (rigid and flexible), and textile dielectric substrates are taken into account. The performances of small, low-profile, and dielectric resonator antennas are illustrated paying particular attention to the application areas concerning portable devices (mobile phones, tablets, glasses, laptops, wearable computers, etc.) and radio base stations. This information provides a guidance to the selection of the different antenna geometries in terms of bandwidth, gain, field polarization, time-domain response, dimensions, and materials useful for their realization and integration in modern communication systems.

Wideband and UWB Antennas for Wireless Applications: A Comprehensive Review

A novel coplanar waveguide-fed planar quasi-Yagi antenna for multiband operation is presented in this letter. The antenna consists of a basic quasi-Yagi element and a coplanar-waveguide-to-coplanar-strip (CPW-to-CPS) transition, which can excite the odd-mode electric fields at the CPS line though the CPW feed line. The proposed antenna can be used in multiband operation with directional radiation patterns whose front-to-back ratios approximate to 10 dB for desired bands. Its impedance bandwidth, determined by -10-dB reflection coefficient, covers numbers of present wireless communication systems, and the antenna can be simply integrated with other circuit components for its planar structure. Experimental data obtained from a laboratory prototype are also presented. The experimental results confirm the good performances observed by the electromagnetic simulations.

Design of a Multiband Quasi-Yagi-Type Antenna With CPW-to-CPS Transition

A novel type of printed and doubled-sided dipole antenna with multiband operation for wireless local area networks and worldwide interoperability for microwave access is presented. The antenna is composed of several symmetrical branch strips dipoles which are employed as resonators for multiband operation and a modified rectangular ground plane as a reflector. Prototype of the proposed antenna has been constructed and experimentally studied. The measured results of the tri-band not only explore wide −10 dB impedance bandwidths of 20, 14, and 15% at the operating bands of 2.5, 3.5, and 5.5 GHz respectively, but also show good agreement with the numerical predictions. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Multiband printed and double-sided dipole antenna for WLAN/WiMAX applications

A coax-feed dual-polarised patch antenna with low cross-polarisation and high port isolation is presented. The proposed antenna contains two pairs of narrow slots along the diagonals and two pairs of T-shaped slots along the centrelines, which change the path of the current and keep the cross-polarisation under -38-dB. By introducing two short pins, the isolation between the two ports remains more than 40-dB in the whole bandwidth. Moreover, the proposed antenna achieving a 10-dB return loss bandwidth of 2.15-2.72-GHz has a compact structure, thus making it easy to be extended to form an array, which can be used as the base station antenna for WiMAX applications.

Dual-polarised patch antenna with low cross-polarisation and high isolation for WiMAX applications

A coplanar waveguide fed dual-band circularly polarized rectangular slot antenna is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular metal frame acting as a ground and an S-shaped monopole as a radiator. The spatial distribution of the surface current density is employed to demonstrate that the circular polarization is generated by the S-shaped monopole which controls the path of the surface currents. An antenna prototype, having overall dimension 37 × 37 × 1 mm3, has been fabricated on FR4 substrate with dielectric constant 4.4. The proposed antenna achieves 10 dB return loss bandwidths and 3 dB axial ratio (AR) in the frequency bands 2.39–2.81 GHz and 5.42–5.92 GHz, respectively. Both these characteristics are suitable for WLAN and WiMAX applications.
