A Coupled-Fed Broadband Dual-Polarized Magnetoelectric Dipole Antenna for WLAN and Sub-6 GHz 5G Communication Applications

This paper presents a novel coupled-fed broadband dual-polarized magnetoelectric dipole antenna for wireless local area network (WLAN) and 5G communication applications. The proposed is composed of planar electric shorting pins as magnetic to obtain broad operation frequency band. Two coupled microstrip lines perpendicular each other are through cross-shaped slot excite the vertical horizontal polarizations. features simple structure, high gain, polarization isolation. measured impedance bandwidth 1.8–4.2 GHz (fractional 80%). realized gain value 3.7–8.5 dBi, isolation level 25 dB at
