The invention discloses a cross
dipole broadband antenna, which belongs to the field of
wireless communication, has a dual-polarization characteristic and can support two mutually vertical polarization directions at the same time, and the
high isolation and the optimized design of the dual-polarization antenna reduce
signal attenuation and loss and ensure the reliability and the stability of a communication
system. Moreover, the antenna is provided with a
balun structure which can effectively
cut off the high-frequency current flowing through the sheath of the cable shielding layer from the cross
dipole patch, thereby ensuring the correct transmission of signals and good antenna performance. The
Balun structure can realize the conversion between different impedances, so that the impedance between the antenna and the
transmission line is matched, and the maximum
power transmission is ensured; besides, the patch of the antenna adopts a novel fractal structure, namely a quartering circular fractal structure, so that the antenna performance is improved, the
broadband characteristic is maintained while the light weight is realized, the frequency bandwidth is improved, and the
radiation efficiency is optimized.
