Dual‐Polarized Small Base Station Antenna Integrated RF Module Applicable to Various Cell Environments for Next‐Generation Mobile Communication Service

摘要

A small dual‐polarized base station antenna with a simple isolation patch is presented. A high isolation is achieved when using a shorted metallic isolation patch. The experimental results indicate that the measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 1.72 GHz to 1.89 GHz for small cell systems and that the isolation is more than 30 dB. The proposed antenna exhibits good radiation patterns with a peak gain of 8 dBi.
