Abstract :
A novel dual-polarized magneto-electric dipole antenna excited by two -shaped strips is presented. The antenna achieves a common impedance bandwidth of 65.9% (SWR < 2) at both input ports. The antenna has excellent performance in isolation, which is more than 36 dB between the two input ports, and the gain of the antenna is about 9.5 dBi. The radiation pattern and bandwidth over the operating frequency band are very stable.
