Differential-fed dual-polarized dipole antenna with ultra-wideband harmonic suppression for base-station applications
摘要
In this paper, we present a broadband differential-fed dual-polarized dipole antenna with ultra-wideband harmonic suppression for base-station applications. Two orthogonal folded dipoles with slender stubs are incorporated with a double differential feed scheme for the dual-polarized radiation and harmonic suppression. Four T-shaped parasitic elements are added to the dipoles for the broadband operation. To improve the bandwidth of the harmonic suppression, U-shaped slots, open stubs, and shorted strips are applied to the dipoles. The antenna is realized on a single-layer substrate and directly fed by four 50-
