Abstract
A unidirectional dual-polarised antenna is presented, by applying a cavity-backed annular slot and two mutually perpendicular microstrip feed lines. To improve the isolation between two ports of the designed antenna, a pair of conductor strips is introduced at the opposite side of the feed lines and a metal cylinder into the cavity centre. Aimed at 2.4 GHz wireless local area network systems, a prototype antenna has been fabricated based on the FR4 substrate. The measured results show that an isolation value of over 33 dB can be attained and the co-polarised level is 30 dB larger than the cross-polarised in the main radiation direction. In addition to compact structure, the operating band with about 5 dBi antenna gain indicates the proposed antenna is suitable for indoor multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) base station systems.
