Abstract :
A wideband and low profile dual-polarized antenna element for LTE base stations is presented in this paper. The antenna operates from 1.89GHz to 2.66GHz for S11<;-10dB and has gains of around 9dBi within its operating bandwidth at both input ports. This dual polarized antenna has a very high isolation of 40dB between the two input ports. Besides, the height of the proposed antenna is about 0.16λ0, which is very low-profile. It is suitable for constructing antenna array for LTE base stations.
