Abstract
This communication presents a new multiband multiarray (MBMA) scattering suppression antenna configuration for a dual-band and dual-polarized antenna array with reduced radiation distortion. The proposed antenna array configuration consists of a low-band (LB) antenna element working in the 690–960 MHz band and four high-band (HB) antenna elements working in the 1.7–2.7 GHz band. The LB antenna introduces U-shape structures to the radiation element to neutralize HB scattering currents. On the other hand, the HB antenna involves an <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">LC</i> resonant structure between its radiation arm and feeding balun to suppress LB scattering currents. An antenna array using the proposed LB and HB elements is designed to achieve MBMA functions. Experimental results show that the radiation distortions in both LB and HB bands are improved significantly. The VSWR of less than 1.5, the isolation of more than 25 dB, and the symmetrical radiation pattern are obtained in both bands.
