Dual-Polarized Duplex Antenna and Dual-Band Base Station Antenna Array Composed Thereof

摘要

A dual-polarized duplex antenna includes a top-layer dielectric substrate; a metal reflective ground plate below the top-layer dielectric substrate; vertically-placed duplex baluns for duplexing operation between the top-layer dielectric substrate and the metal reflective ground plate; and four dipole arms horizontally printed on an upper surface of the top-layer dielectric substrate. Each of the duplex balun includes a vertical dielectric substrate, a balun feedline printed on a front side of the vertical dielectric substrate, and a ground plane with a printed slot line printed on a reverse side of the vertical dielectric substrate. The balun feedline includes a low-pass filter, a high-pass filter and a microstrip feeding structure serving as a connection. The low-pass filter and the high-pass filter are located on two sides of the slot line, and are connected together by the microstrip feeding structure.
