| description | A novel linearly dual-polarized antenna array with triple elements is proposed for beamwidth reconfigurable base-station communications. By cutting off the arc-shaped corners on the radiated patches, the single dual-polarized antenna unit can obtain a wide bandwidth of 78.4% for SWR ≤ 2, ranging from 1.63 to 3.73 GHz for 2G/3G/LTE and 3.5-GHz C-band (3.4-3.6 GHz) applications. In addition, with the box-shaped reflector and the inherent characteristic of the ME dipole antenna, the average gain of the dual-polarized antenna element is about 11.5 dBi. Finally, by employing a two-stage circuit with several power dividers, a three-element antenna array with a widely adjustable beamwidth in both the E-plane and H-plane is investigated, which could meet the demand of the future smart applications. |
