Abstract

A ±45° dual-polarized magneto-electric dipole loaded with dielectric substrate is presented. This antenna is composed of shorted-circuited patches and planar dipoles and is fed by four Γ-shaped probes. The height of a prototype antenna operated at 1.9 GHz is only 24 mm (0.15Λo). A wide impedance bandwidth of 24.9% is achieved. The average gain is about 8.2 dBi and the isolation between the two ports is higher than 29 dB over the operating bandwidth. It is demonstrated that the antenna performance can be improved by adding metallic side walls. © 2009 IEEE.
