A UWB Unidirectional Antenna With Dual-Polarization

A novel ±45 ° dual-polarized unidirectional antenna element is presented, consisting of two cross center-fed tapered mono-loops and two cross electric dipoles located against a reflector for ultrawideband applications. The operation principle of the antenna including the use of elliptically tapered...

Zusammenfassung:A novel ±45 ° dual-polarized unidirectional antenna element is presented, consisting of two cross center-fed tapered mono-loops and two cross electric dipoles located against a reflector for ultrawideband applications. The operation principle of the antenna including the use of elliptically tapered transmission line for transiting the unbalanced energy to the balanced energy is described. Designs with different reflectors-planar or conical-are investigated. A measured overlapped impedance bandwidth of 126% (SWR
