Abstract
A Ka -band wideband dual-polarized magnetoelectric (ME) dipole antenna with the feeding structure consisting of two orthogonal L-shaped probes with different heights is presented based on the low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) technology. A simulated overlapped impedance bandwidth of 42.5% is achieved together with an isolation of higher than 24 dB between the two input ports and stable radiation characteristics over the operating band. By combining the radiating elements with a single-layered feed network composed of microstrip lines, a $4\times 4$ dual-polarized ME dipole antenna array is designed, fabricated, and measured. An overlapped impedance bandwidth of 45% that can cover the entire Ka -band, a gain up to 16.1 dBi, and stable symmetrical radiation patterns in the two orthogonal planes with cross polarization of less than −15 dB are experimentally confirmed. With advantages of the compact geometry, wide operating band, and promising radiation performance, the proposed antenna array with dual polarization would be attractive for millimeter-wave wireless applications in Ka -band.
