The invention discloses a branch loading and parasitic structure loading-based small-size base station antenna unit. The branch loading and parasitic structure loading-based small-size base station antenna unit comprises a radiation patch, angular metal structures, a parasitic ring structure, a microstrip feeder, a coaxial feeder, short-circuit metal, a reflection plate, three different dielectricplates and a feeding floor, wherein the four angular metal structures are respectively arranged at tail ends of four dipole arms, the parasitic ring structure is arranged right below the radiation patch, and the reflection plate comprises a horizontal structure and metal baffle plates around the horizontal structure. By loading the angular metal posts at the tail ends of the dipole arms and loading the metal ring structure below the radiation patch, the size of the radiation patch is reduced by 25%, the impedance matching is good, and the radiation performance is stable; and with a structurethat the feeding floor and the reflection plate are separated, the antenna is flexible to assemble, and the antenna is suitable for mass production. The antenna can be applied to a base station antenna array under a limited space size condition.
