The present invention provides a vertically polarized antenna which comprises three
layers of the
dielectric plates which are a first layer, a second layer and a third layer. The right end of each layer of
dielectric plate has a section of L area extending leftward from the right boundary of the
dielectric plate, a stepped substrate integrated
waveguide structure whose L area height is higher than that of the left side of the L area is formed by the whole second layer, a first layer L area and a third layer L area together. The length of the L area is L. The vertically polarized antenna comprises the stepped substrate integrated
waveguide structure, through using the step transition technology is employed at an E plane, for E plane discontinuities, the transition of the E plane is carried out directly, the antenna
standing wave is greatly improved, the efficiency is high, the size is only changed for several millimeters, according to the E plane transition structure, the antenna E plane
directivity can be improved, at the same time through laying
electromagnetic band gap structures at upper and lower surfaces, in the condition of not enlarging the antenna size, the backward
radiation is greatly inhibited, and the antenna E plane
directivity is further improved.
