Low-Profde Magnetoelectric Dipole Antenna with Dual Complementary Sources

摘要

A magnetoelectric (ME) dipole antenna fed by dual complementary sources (DCS) for wideband application is presented in this paper. By applying DCS as feeding sources to the ME dipole antenna design, lower profile of 0.18 λ₀, where λ₀ is the wavelength of the center frequency of 3.3 GHz, can be achieved. The simulated results are carried out in this paper. It is shown that the characteristics of original ME dipole antennas, such as broadband, high front-to-back ratio and low crosspolarization levels, can also be remained. It makes the proposed antennas regarded as one of the potential candidates for various wireless communications.
