“…With the wide and rapid development of modern wireless communication, antennas with multiband operation are greatly demanded in mobile wireless communication terminals. Recently, to satisfy the applications of WLAN standards (2.45/5.2/5.8 GHz) and WiMAX standards (2.8/3.8/5.5 GHz), various types of planar multiband antennas have been investigated due to their compactness, low-profile, lowcost, and convenient fabrication, such as parasitic antennas, fractal antennas, and slot antennas [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

A multiband compact low-profile planar antenna based on multiple resonant stubs is proposed and studied. By utilizing two pairs of stubs embedded on a defected ground, the reflection coefficient less than −10 dB can be achieved with broadband characteristic for applications of wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX). Meanwhile, a pair of inserted slots on both sides of a curve slot is applied to the antenna design, which decreases the cross polarization. A multiband antenna is fabricated and measured to verify the design. The antenna is compact with operation frequencies for WLAN (2.45/5.2/5.8 GHz) and WiMAX (2.8/3.8/5.5 GHz) applications. The measured peak gains are 5.5, 4.4, 0.0, and 5.6 dBi at 2.45, 2.8, 3.8, and 5.5 GHz, respectively.

“…The challenge is great since a coexistence with the previous 3G and 4G communication systems has to be achieved. One attempt aiming to reduce the size, while covering part of the mid-band sub-6GHz 5G bands (between 1.7 and 3 GHz), can be seen in [21]. However, the lowest part of the extended band is not covered and its inclusion in array topology is not straightforward since the antenna is not planar.…”

A fully planar dual polarized radiating element with internal embedded coupled dipoles is presented in this paper. The inclusion of these elements allows achieving three different goals: firstly, an extension of the bandwidth towards lower frequencies (from 1.69 GHz to 1.427 GHz) as required in new 5G standards; secondly, a reduction of the antenna size in comparison with other topologies for bandwidth extension and, finally, a reduction of the secondary lobes. The proposed dual polarized broadband antenna is based on two sets of dual polarized dipoles, with a fully planar structure. The objective of this paper is the design of an antenna working in the extended 5G band in order to fulfil the future 5G requirement in the microwave region, in which the new frequency bandwidth goes from 1.427 up to 2.69 GHz with the return losses lower than −14 dB and the crosspolar isolation larger than 28 dB.

“…Recently, 5G communication systems have received widespread attention due to their high capacity, low latency, and high data rate. The sub-6 GHz band (450 MHz-6.0 GHz) like 3.3-3.6 GHz and 4.8-5.0 GHz was announced by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in 2017 [1], 3.4-3.8 GHz in Europe and 3.4-3.7 GHz in Korea [2], which will be widely used in 5G communication systems all over the world. For the performances of base station antenna, there are higher demands.…”

A broadband dual-polarized base station antenna is proposed in this paper. The antenna consists of loop cross-dipoles, Y-shaped coupling feeding lines, and a metal box reflector. An equivalent circuit model including a signal flow diagram is established to analyze the mechanism of the proposed antenna in detail. Moreover, the Y-shaped coupling feeding lines are introduced to control the coupling with the antenna to achieve broadband and good impedance matching. The prototype of the antenna is fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the antenna with simple structures can operate at the band of 3.2–5.22 GHz (48%) with high port-to-port isolation (35 dB) and stable gain (9 ± 1 dBi). The measured results show good agreement with simulated results, especially in cross-polarization discrimination ratio (>27 dB) and the half power beam width (61° ± 3° at the E-plane, 68° ± 3° at the H-plane). In summary, the proposed antenna could be a good candidate for 5G sub-6 GHz base station applications.
