| Summary: | A dual-band, dual-polarized filtering antenna with a cross-shaped dielectric strip resonator is proposed. The dual-band filtering radiation function is achieved by utilizing the odd and even modes of the stub loaded microstrip resonator to excite the TM<sub>δ1</sub> and TM<sub>δ3</sub> mode in each polarization direction of the cross-shaped dielectric strip resonator. The cross-shaped dielectric strip resonator is synthesized by the E-field distributions and the magnitude comparison along different polarization directions, which can ensure the isolation between two polarizations. Compared with dual-band filtering dielectric antennas, the proposed antenna has the characteristic of dual-polarized radiation, as well as a low profile. A prototype is fabricated and measured, which operates at 3.5 GHz and 4.9 GHz with the fractional bandwidths (FBW) of 5.40% and 2.03%, respectively, and the gains of these two bands are 6.4 dBi and 6.2 dBi, respectively. The two radiation nulls are located at 4.4 GHz and 5.1 GHz. Furthermore, the measured isolation between the two ports in the frequency band can achieve 16 dB.
