Abstract

In this letter, a new wideband dual-polarized (DP) magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna is proposed for the millimeter-wave (mmWave) wireless communications. Innovatively, a dual-layer saucer-shaped ME-dipole is first designed for achieving a wide DP impedance bandwidth of 53% (23.7 GHz to 40.8 GHz), while maintaining a compact element size of 3.5 mm×3.5 mm×1.1 mm. Besides, the antenna also exhibits a flat gain response with a peak gain of 7.2 dBi and stable radiation patterns characterized by low cross-polarization levels below −20 dB. To demonstrate the reliability of the proposed concept, a 1 × 4 DP antenna array prototype is then implemented, manufactured, and measured. The broad measured impedance bandwidth of 50.5% (24.4 GHz to 40.9 GHz) with a peak gain of up to 12.4 dBi is achieved. Convincing experimental results corroborate the effectiveness of these designs. The exhibited performance metrics including wideband, stable radiation, compact size, high system integration, easy assembling, low cost, and so on, distinguish the proposed antenna array as a prospective choice for diverse burgeoning fifth and sixth-generation (5G/6G) mmWave applications.

5G/6G毫米波应用的宽带双极化碟形me偶极子天线阵列

本文提出了一种用于毫米波（mmWave）无线通信的新型宽带双极化磁电偶极天线。创新的是，首先设计了双层碟形me偶极子，以实现53% （23.7 GHz至40.8 GHz）的宽DP阻抗带宽，同时保持3.5 mm×3.5 mm×1.1 mm的紧凑元件尺寸。此外，该天线还表现出平坦的增益响应，峰值增益为7.2 dBi，并且具有稳定的辐射方向图，其特征是低于−20 dB的低交叉极化电平。为了证明所提出的概念的可靠性，然后实现，制造和测量了1 × 4 DP天线阵列原型。测量阻抗带宽为50.5% (24.4 GHz至40.9 GHz)，峰值增益高达12.4 dBi。令人信服的实验结果证实了这些设计的有效性。所展示的性能指标包括宽带、稳定的辐射、紧凑的尺寸、高系统集成度、易于组装、低成本等，使所提出的天线阵列成为各种新兴的第五代和第六代（5G/6G）毫米波应用的潜在选择。

期刊介绍： IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
