A compact multi-band reconfigurable base-station antenna for next generation mobile communication base-station applications

摘要

This paper presents a commercial multi-band base-station antenna for next generation mobile communications. This antenna is composed of 3 types of the dipole linear array that are aligned in parallel with compact size and the frequency control is realized by MEMS switches with an external antenna control unit. It was confirmed that the antenna meets the required base-station antenna specification in Korea by indoor performance test using a communication simulator.
