An antenna array includes four closely spaced, linearly arranged antenna columns. At least two of the columns, e.g., the center two columns, are dual-polarized. Spacing between neighboring columns is about ½λ, where λ is the free space wavelength at the network carrier frequency. Each column includes a first vertical linear array of radiating elements or groups of elements (sub-arrays) connected to a port. The dual-polarized columns each further include a second linear array of radiating elements oriented at a different polarization than the first array. (For example, horizontal/vertical or slant 45°.) Array ports are connected with four RF feed cables using duplexers in such a way so as to provide two different antenna configurations for forward link and reverse link frequencies, namely, a four-column closely spaced beam-forming array at the forward link and a two-column dual-polarized array at the reverse link for 4-branch diversity reception.

DC inductive FSS technology is a printed slow wave structure usable for reduced size resonators in antenna and filter applications of wireless applications. It is a dispersive surface defined in terms of its parallel LC equivalent circuit that enhances the inductance and capacitance of the equivalent circuit to obtain a pole frequency as low as 300 MHz. The effective sheet impedance model has a resonant pole whose free-space wavelength can be greater than 10 times the FSS period. A conductor-backed DCL FSS can create a DC inductive artificial magnetic conductor (DCL AMC), high-impedance surface with resonant frequencies as low as 2 GHz. Lorentz poles introduced into the DCL FSS create multi-resonant DCL AMCs. Antennas fabricated from DCL FSS materials include single-band elements such as a bent-wire monopole on the DCL AMC and multi-band (dual and triple) shorted patches, similar to PIFAs with the patch/lid being a DCL FSS.

The invention relates to a low-profile low-cross-polarization dual-polarized broadband antenna comprising a resonant cavity, an upper microstrip board, a lower microstrip board, four feed probes and a coaxial medium. A rectangular upper-layer copper foil paster is arranged at the middle of the top surface of the upper microstrip board; and a rectangular lower-layer copper foil paster is arranged at the middle of the bottom surface of the lower microstrip board. The four feed probes distributed in the resonant cavity uniformly enable the upper-layer copper foil paster to be transited to the bottom of the resonant cavity vertically in a feed mode and, together with the coaxial medium, form a coaxial radio-frequency connection port. And a 45-degree angle is formed between each side of the upper-layer copper foil paster and each side of the resonant cavity. The profile height of the dual-polarized broadband antenna is 0.1-0.15 lambda0, wherein the lambda0 expresses a free space wavelength of a central frequency point. Therefore, the antenna unit performance can be improved obviously and thus the work bandwidh reaches 60%. More than two low-profile low-cross-polarization dual-polarized broadband antennas are connected in parallel to form a low-profile low-cross-polarization dual-polarized broadband antenna array.
