Abstract

An embedded dual-band dual-polarized base station antenna (BSA) array is proposed in this paper. The array consists of two low-scattering bowl-shaped antenna elements working at the lower band (LB) and five cross-dipoles operating at the higher band (HB). Such an array configuration is intended to mitigate the negative effect on the HB antennas' radiation pattern caused by the presence of adjacent LB antennas. In this paper, a new LB antenna loaded with metal chokes is proposed to further reduce its scattering to the HB radiation. The results obtained with conventional bowl-shaped LB antenna and with choked LB antenna are compared to demonstrate the superiority of this de-scattering method. The simulation results show that the HB performance is significantly improved with the help of metal chokes while the LB performance remains nearly unchanged.
