Abstract :
A novel dual-polarized dipole antenna excited by two cross strip baluns is presented. The operation bandwidth of the proposed antenna can be widely altered by varying the coupled strip of balun. The antenna has good performance in isolation which is more than 20 dB between the two input ports. Moreover, the radiation pattern and antenna peak gain are very stable over the operating band.
