Abstract

A low-profile dual-polarized high-isolation multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna array for wideband base-station applications is presented in this paper. The proposed dual-polarized antenna element has the advantage of lower profile ( $0.067\lambda $ ) by utilizing artificial magnetic conductor structure. The antenna array consisting of four elements is working within the frequency band from 2.4 to 3 GHz. Furthermore, decoupling branches among the elements are introduced to improve the isolation by about 10 dB. Both simulation and measured results indicate that the proposed dual-polarized antenna element has a good isolation over 28 dB. Moreover, the beamwidth of the antenna array can be effectively broadened by the adjustment of phase distributions of corresponding artificial material plane. Finally, a larger MIMO system is also investigated, and the simulation and measured results prove that dual-polarized dipole antenna MIMO array has good system performance.
