A UWB unidirectional antenna with dual-polarization

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

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 reflectorsplanar or conicalare investigated. A measured overlapped impedance bandwidth of 126% (SWR
