Novel Dual-Polarized 5G Base Station Antenna

A dual-polarized antenna element for 5G base station is investigated in this paper. The proposed element consists of two crossed printed dipoles and a power divider. To verify the designed antenna element, a prototype is fabricated and measured. The resonant frequency covers the spectrum allocation of 5G mobile network and the band from 3.2 GHz to 3.5 GHz.
