Broadband Multimode Antenna for Sub-6 GHz Base Station Applications
─ In this paper, a novel dual-polarized multimode antenna is presented for sub-6 GHz base station applications. Two pairs of slotted patches act as the main radiator to excite two modes, and they are coupled with each other to bring the resonant frequency of the two modes together. Two baluns are orthogonally placed between the main radiator and the ground plane for impedance transforming and introducing a new mode at the lower frequency. The ends of the slotted patches are connected with a reversed T-shaped dipole to optimize the current path and introducing a new mode at the higher frequency. Measured results show that the prototype antenna can achieve a 15-dB impedance bandwidth of 2.30 ~ 3.96 GHz (53.1%) and an average gain of 9.67 ± 0.33 dBi in the operating band. The isolation is greater than 28.0 dB with a half-power beamwidth of around 64° among the operating frequency band. The proposed antenna can be a promising candidate for the fifthgeneration communication in the sub-6 GHz band. Index Terms ─ Base station antennas, broadband antenna, multimode antenna.
期刊介绍:
The ACES Journal is devoted to the exchange of information in computational electromagnetics, to the advancement of the state of the art, and to the promotion of related technical activities. A primary objective of the information exchange is the elimination of the need to "re-invent the wheel" to solve a previously solved computational problem in electrical engineering, physics, or related fields of study.
The ACES Journal welcomes original, previously unpublished papers, relating to applied computational electromagnetics. All papers are refereed.
A unique feature of ACES Journal is the publication of unsuccessful efforts in applied computational electromagnetics. Publication of such material provides a means to discuss problem areas in electromagnetic modeling. Manuscripts representing an unsuccessful application or negative result in computational electromagnetics is considered for publication only if a reasonable expectation of success (and a reasonable effort) are reflected.
The technical activities promoted by this publication include code validation, performance analysis, and input/output standardization; code or technique optimization and error minimization; innovations in solution technique or in data input/output; identification of new applications for electromagnetics modeling codes and techniques; integration of computational electromagnetics techniques with new computer architectures; and correlation of computational parameters with physical mechanisms.
