Wideband and Low-Loss Magneto-Electric Dipole Antenna Fed by Printed Ridge-Gap Waveguide Technology

摘要

In this paper, A novel wideband magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna is introduced for 5G applications in millimeter-wave bands. This antenna supports a high radiation efficiency and stable gain characteristic. The designed antenna fed based on printed ridge-gap waveguide technology with low cross-polarization with basis on a complementary antenna structure. The proposed antenna exhibits a gain of more than 8.2 dBi in the whole operation frequency band.
