For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides an ultra-wideband cross-polarization antenna 100, comprising: a shell, a coaxial line with a connector 120, and at least one group of cross-polarization antennas 130 spaced and cross-arranged along a preset direction in the shell; each group of cross-polarization antennas 130 comprises two dipole antennas 131 spaced and cross-arranged along a preset direction, the dipole antenna 131 comprises a dielectric plate 1311, and at least two pairs of dipoles 1312 with different frequency bands and connected in parallel arranged on the dielectric plate 1311; the coaxial line with a connector 120 corresponds to the dipole antenna 131 one by one, one end of the coaxial line with a connector 120 is a radio frequency connector 121, and the other end is a stripping port, the radio frequency connector 121 is used to connect to an external device, and the stripping port is connected to the dipole 1312 of the corresponding dipole antenna 131.

[0028] Specifically, the housing is used to accommodate at least one group of cross-polarized antennas 130, each group of cross-polarized antennas 130 includes two dipole antennas 131, the planes where the dielectric plates 1311 of the two dipole antennas 131 are located are parallel to each other, and the dielectric plates 1311 are arranged crosswise to form the cross-polarized antennas 130. When the number of cross-polarized antennas 130 is greater than one group, two or more groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 are arranged at intervals along a preset direction in the housing, and two adjacent dipole antennas 131 in two adjacent groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 are arranged crosswise. Crosswise arrangement of two dipole antennas 131 in the same group of cross-polarized antennas 130 and crosswise arrangement of two adjacent dipole antennas 131 in two adjacent groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 can improve the isolation between the dipole antennas 131 and reduce the mutual interference between the dipole antennas 131, so that the interval between the two adjacent dipole antennas 131 can be set smaller to reduce the size of the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100.

[0029] Each dipole antenna 131 includes a dielectric plate 1311 and at least two pairs of dipoles 1312 laid on the dielectric plate 1311. The frequency bands of at least two pairs of dipoles 1312 on the same dipole antenna 131 are different from each other and are connected in parallel, so that the ultra-wideband cross-polarization antenna 100 can meet multiple frequency bands at the same time. For example, the number of dipoles 1312 on the same dipole antenna 131 is four pairs, wherein the frequency bands of the four pairs of dipoles 1312 are 1400MHz-4200MHz, 600MHz-960MHz, 420MHz-470MHz and 5000MHz-6000MHz, respectively. The dipole antenna 131 can adopt a printed circuit board process to apply metal (such as copper) on the dielectric plate 1311 to form dipoles 1312 with different frequency bands, and the frequency band of the dipole 1312 can be controlled by the wiring length. Preferably, the flame retardancy grade of the dielectric plate 1311 material is FR4, the thickness of the dielectric plate 1311 is 0.8 mm-1.2 mm, the relative dielectric constant is 4.3-4.5, the length is 140 mm-160 mm, and the width is 45 mm-55 mm.

[0030] In the ultra-wideband cross-polarization antenna 100, the number of the connector coaxial lines 120 is equal to the number of the dipole antennas 131, and each connector coaxial line 120 corresponds to a dipole antenna 131 and is electrically connected to the dipole 1312 of the dipole antenna 131. The other end of the connector coaxial line 120 is a radio frequency connector 121 for connecting to an external device, so that the ultra-wideband cross-polarization antenna 100 has at least two ports.

[0031] In summary, the ultra-wideband cross-polarization antenna 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured by setting at least one group of cross-polarization antennas 130, and configuring the dipole antenna 131 forming the cross-polarization antenna 130 to include at least two dipoles 1312 with different frequency bands and connected in parallel, and using at least two coaxial lines with connectors 120 to be connected one-to-one with the dipole antenna 131, so that the ultra-wideband cross-polarization antenna 100 can meet multiple frequency bands at the same time, and has multiple ports and a smaller size.

[0032] The two dipole antennas 131 in the same group of cross-polarized antennas 130 are cross-arranged. If the angle between the two dipole antennas 131 is too small or too large, the isolation between the two dipole antennas 131 will be poor. Preferably, the angle between the two dipole antennas 131 in the same group of cross-polarized antennas 130 is 80°-100°. Within this range, the isolation between the two dipole antennas 131 is better, and the influence between the two dipole antennas 131 is not significant. Furthermore, the angle between the two dipole antennas 131 in each group of cross-polarized antennas 130 is 90°. At this time, the isolation between the two dipole antennas 131 is the best, and the performance of the obtained ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100 is better.

[0033] The smaller the vertical distance between the two dipole antennas 131 in the same group of cross-polarized antennas 130, the smaller the size of the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100. However, if the distance between the dipole antennas 131 is too close, the isolation between the two will be poor, and the mutual influence will lead to the impedance instability and poor performance of the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100. Therefore, optionally, the vertical distance between the two dipole antennas 131 in each group of cross-polarized antennas 130 is 12mm-15mm. When the vertical distance between the two dipole antennas 131 is within this range, the size of the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100 can be controlled within a smaller range, and at the same time, the isolation between the two dipole antennas 131 in the same group of cross-polarized antennas 130 can be better, thereby ensuring that the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100 has better performance.

[0034] In order to further increase the number of frequency bands and ports that the ultra-wideband cross-polarization antenna 100 can meet, optionally, please refer to Figure 3 The number of the cross-polarization antennas 130 is two groups, and the angle between two dipole antennas 131 close to each other in the two groups of cross-polarization antennas 130 is 45°.

[0035] The two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 correspond to four dipole antennas 131 and four coaxial lines with connectors 120, so that the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100 has four ports, which can meet the needs of more frequency bands and the needs of multiple inputs and multiple outputs. In addition, the four dipole antennas 131 are integrated into the same housing, which has a higher degree of integration and saves more space. The angle between the two dipole antennas 131 close to each other in the two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 is set to 45°, which can also make the isolation of the two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 better, further improving the performance of the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100.

[0036] The smaller the vertical distance between the two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130, the smaller the size of the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100. However, if the distance between the two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 is too close, the isolation between the two groups will be poor, and the mutual influence will lead to the impedance instability and poor performance of the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100. Therefore, optionally, the vertical distance between the two dipole antennas 131 close to each other in the two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 is 40mm-60mm. When the vertical distance between the two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 is within this range, the size of the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100 can be controlled within a smaller range, and the isolation between the two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 can be better, thereby ensuring that the ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna 100 has better performance.

[0037] Each dipole antenna 131 includes at least two pairs of dipoles 1312. Optionally, each pair of dipoles 1312 includes a first branch 1312a and a second branch 1312b. The first branch 1312a and the second branch 1312b may be symmetrically arranged relative to the center line of the dielectric plate 1311. The dielectric plate 1311 is also provided with a first pad 1313 and a second pad 1314. The first pad 1313 and the second pad 1314 are DC open-circuited. The first branches 1312a of at least two pairs of dipoles 1312 are simultaneously connected to the first pad 1313, and the second branches 1312b of at least two pairs of dipoles 1312 are simultaneously connected to the second pad 1314. The stripping end includes a coaxially arranged inner conductor, a dielectric layer and an outer conductor, the dielectric layer wraps the inner conductor, and the outer conductor wraps the dielectric layer. One of the inner conductor and the outer conductor is connected to the first soldering pad 1313, and the other is connected to the second soldering pad 1314, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the coaxial line 120 with a connector and the dipole 1312.

[0038] Optionally, the dielectric plate 1311 is rectangular, and the dipole 1312 extends along the length direction of the dielectric plate 1311. This makes the adjustable range of the wiring length of the dipole 1312 wider, and the number of frequency bands satisfied by the dipole antenna 131 is greater. Furthermore, at least two pairs of dipoles 1312 can be distributed along the width direction of the dielectric plate 1311 to more reasonably use the space on the dielectric plate 1311.

[0039] Optionally, in one implementable manner of an embodiment of the present application, the shell includes a base 111 and an upper cover 112 cooperating with the base 111, the cross-polarization antenna 130 is fixed on the base 111, and the upper cover 112 and the base 111 are detachably connected to form a space for accommodating the cross-polarization antenna 130.

[0040] For example, the upper cover 112 and the base 111 are detachably connected by a buckle, and the dipole antennas 131 in the cross-polarized antenna 130 are fixed to the base 111 by bolts 140. In order to ensure the interval between the two dipole antennas 131 in the same group of cross-polarized antennas 130, a raised support column 113 may be provided on the base 111, and the lower dipole antenna 131 is directly fixed to the base 111, and the upper dipole antenna 131 is fixed to the support column 113.

[0041] When there are two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 in the housing, both groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 are arranged in the housing. In order to achieve isolation of the two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130, optionally, the housing includes a base 111 and an upper cover 112 matched with the base 111, the cross-polarized antennas 130 are fixed on the base 111, and the upper cover 112 and the base 111 are detachably connected to form a space for accommodating the cross-polarized antennas 130; a bracket 114 is also provided in the housing, the bracket 114 is fixed on the base 111, one cross-polarized antenna 130 is fixed on the base 111, and the other cross-polarized antenna 130 is fixed on the side of the bracket 114 away from the base 111. The bracket 114 is used to isolate the two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130, and the distance between the two is kept within a reasonable range.

[0042] Optionally, in one implementable manner of the embodiment of the present application, the materials of the housing and the bracket 114 are both insulating materials, thereby isolating the cross-polarized antennas 130 from the outside world and isolating the two groups of cross-polarized antennas 130 from each other.

[0043] For example, the material of the housing is non-metal, and the material of the bracket 114 is plastic.
