A High-Isolation, Wideband and Dual-Linear Polarization Patch Antenna

The design of a dual-polarization stacked patch antenna to be used in GSM-UMTS base station arrays is presented. The patch shows a high matching level in a broadband and isolation between elements that make it a suitable radiating element for base station arrays. Moreover, the most relevant achievement of this element is the isolation between the two polarization ports of the same element in the antenna operating bandwidth. A prototype has been manufactured and measured. The measurements, that match the design objectives, are also presented.
