A small-size omnidirectional
broadband dual-polarized
MIMO antenna is composed of a horizontal polarization unit and a vertical polarization unit, wherein the horizontal polarization unit and the vertical polarization unit perform independent electric feeding, wherein the horizontal polarization unit is composed of four printed arc-shaped dipoles, a
broadband balance-unbalance
feed network, four arc-shaped parasitic wires and four double-L-shaped parasitic wires. The vertical polarization unit is composed of a discone, a circular sleeve and a grounded top loading planar ring. The working
frequency band of the horizontal polarization unit is 1.7-2.8GHz; 48.9%
relative bandwidth and a stable
gain of 2.0-2.35dBi can be realized. The working
frequency band of the vertical polarization unit is 1.68-2.72GHz; 48.9%
relative bandwidth and a stable
gain of 2.0-3.5dBi can be realized. Furthermore isolation degree between two
radiation units is 25dB. The cross polarizations of the two
radiation units are smaller than 20dB. According to the antenna, a horizontal
radiation unit has a planar structure and a 50-
ohm coaxial cable is utilized for performing electric feeding, and the dimension of the horizontal radiation unit is smaller than 100*100mm<2>; a vertical radiation unit has a discone structure and a 50-
ohm coaxial cable is utilized for performing electric feeding, and the size of the vertical radiation unit is smaller than 84*84*22 mm<3>. The
broadband dual-polarized omnidirectional
MIMO antenna is suitable for a 4G LTE
wireless communication
system, a network and a
base station.
