A Compact Dual-Band Dual-Polarized Antenna for Base Station Application

Abstract

Abstract-A compact dual-band dual-polarized antenna is proposed in this paper. The two pair dipoles with strong end coupling are used for the lower frequency band, and cross-placed patch dipoles are used for the upper frequency band. The ends of the dipoles for lower frequency band are bent to increase the coupling between adjacent dipoles, which can benefit the compactness and bandwidth of the antenna. Breaches are introduced at the ends of the dipoles of the upper band, which also benefit the compactness and matching of the antenna. An antenna prototype was fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the antenna can cover from 790 MHz to 960 MHz (19.4%) for lower band and from 1710 MHz to 2170 MHz (23.7%) for upper band with VSWR < 1.5. It is expected to be a good candidate design for base station antennas.

Suppression of cross‐band scattering effect of shared‐aperture base station antenna by using sparse FSS

“…Array configuration can help reduce blockage and interference. First, an embedded array configuration of the HB antennas and LB antennas is employed in References 1–6. This embedded configuration can reduce blockage a lot but brings limitations for HB antennas placement simultaneously.…”

Triple-Band Dual-Polarized Dipole Antenna for 5G Sub-6 GHz Communications

“…A dual-polarized printed dipole antenna with 52% impedance bandwidth is presented in [15]. The base station broadband antennas for 2G, 3G and 4G networks are proposed in [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The comparison of the proposed work with the related ones [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] is presented in Table 1.…”

A Dual-Broadband Printed Dipole Antenna for 2G/3G/4G Base Station Applications

“…On the other hand, the gating lobe appeared when the frequency is higher than 2500MHz. Some other antennas were studied as well in [9][10][11][12][13][14], which only cover part of the 2G/3G/4G bands.…”
