摘　　要：A bandwidth-enhanced dual-polarized antenna is proposed for 2/3/4/5G applications,which is composed of distributed parasitic elements(DPEs),a main radiator,two improved broadband integrated baluns and a reflector.First,a novel tooth-shape shorted slot line in the improved broadband integrated balun is analyzed to adjust the input impedance of the antenna.Then,DPEs with 2×2 circular plates loading over the main radiator are proposed to improve broadband impedance matching and radiation pattern.By utilizing impedance compensation of the tooth-shaped shorted slot line and the electromagnetic induction of the DPEs,the antenna achieves an enhanced impedance bandwidth and a stable radiation pattern.To verify these ideas,the bandwidth-enhanced dual-polarized antenna was fabricated and measured.The experimental results indicate that the proposed antenna achieves an operating bandwidth of 72.2%(1.69 to 3.60 GHz)with a return loss(RL)less than-15 dB and a port-to-port isolation(ISO)larger than 30 dB.The antenna obtains a half-power beamwidth(HPBW)within(66±5)°and a gain within(9.0±0.6)dBi in the 2/3/4G bands,and an HPBW within(61.5±2.5)°and a gain within(9.8±0.3)dBi in the 5G band.Across the whole band,the cross-polarization discrimination(XPD)and the front-to-back ratio are both larger than 20 dB.提出了一种可于2/3/4/5G应用的带宽增强双极化天线.该天线由分布式集成巴伦、主辐射器、2个改进型宽带集成巴伦和反射器构成.首先,分析了改进型宽带集成巴伦利用新型齿形短路槽线调节天线输入阻抗的原理.其次,为了改善天线宽带阻抗匹配和辐射特性,提出了在主辐射器上方加载一个由2×2金属圆盘构成的分布式寄生单元.通过齿形短路槽线的阻抗补偿和分布式寄生单元的电磁感应作用,天线获得了增强的阻抗带宽和稳定的辐射模式.为了验证设计,加工测试了带宽增强双极化天线.实验结果表明,该天线获得了72.2%的工作带宽(1.69~3.60 GHz),带内回波损耗小于-15 dB,端口隔离度大于30 dB.在2/3/4G频带内,天线的半功率波束宽带为(66±5)°,增益为(9.0±0.6)dBi;在5G频带内,天线的半功率波束宽度为(61.5±2.5)°,增益为(9.8±0.3)dBi.在整个频带内,天线的交叉极化鉴别率和前后比都大于20 dB.
