Abstract :
This paper presents an extremely wide frequency band antenna with polarization diversity. For versatile usage, the antenna needs to have two orthogonal ports to generate dual polarization. Depending on the polarization network, the polarization combination can either be vertical and horizontal or RHCP and LHCP. This antenna has excellent RF performance for a multioctave frequency bandwidth.
