A Novel Dual-Band and High-Gain Antenna for 2 G / 3 G Base Station

Abstract—A dual-band and ±45◦ dual-polarized antenna is proposed for 2G/3G mobile communications in this paper. The proposed antenna consists of five elements for the lower band and ten elements for the upper band. Results for a single element and antenna array are presented. The front-to-back ratio is from 25 dB to 30 dB, and the axial cross polarization ratio is from 19 dB to 22 dB in a single low band unit. The dual-band array achieves a bandwidth of 15.7% (820–960 MHz) for the lower band and a bandwidth of 23.7% (1710–2170 MHz) for the upper band, covering the frequency bands required by 2G/3G systems. Simulation results show that the gains for antenna array are 15.7 dBi for the lower band and 19.1 dBi for the upper band, which is suitable for base stations applications.
