Abstract

In this paper, a co-linearly polarized shared radiator (SR) based in-band full-duplex (FD) microstrip antenna with high Tx-Rx isolation is proposed. The Tx and Rx terminals of the proposed FD antenna are designed on a single patch, where a series of vias are loaded in the central line of the patch followed by two L-shaped stubs at either end, which leads to high Tx-Rx isolation (≈60 dB). The via loading makes the Tx and Rx antennas individually operate in TM0,1/2 mode. The proposed SR-FD antenna demonstrates Tx-Rx isolation of 60.8 dB at 5.9 GHz operating frequency. Both Tx and Rx terminals of the FD antenna exhibit identical radiation property with peak realized gain of 6.65 dBi and co-to-cross polarization isolation >18 dB. The working mechanism of the proposed FD antenna is explained by both EM and circuit simulation, as well as verified with measurements on the fabricated prototype. The proposed SR-FD antenna has the merits of being planar, reduced footprint, simple feeding mechanism, and desired isolation bandwidth for IEEE 802.11p which renders it suitable for V2X-ITS application.
