Abstract

To meet the high requirements of base station antennas, such as broadband, wide beamwidth and high gain, an improved dipole antenna array is proposed. Generally, the working frequency range of the conventional unidirectional dipole element cannot cover the 2G, 3G and 4G band (1.71-2.69GHz) at the same time. To solve this problem, two parasitic dipoles are added on both sides of the conventional dipole. The simulated results show that the return loss of the improved element is less than -10dB from 1.62GHz to 2.85GHz, which has a complete coverage of 2G, 3G and 4G band. And its beamwidth is more than 120° in the whole band. Apart from it, the gain of the element is levelling out at around 6.9dBi. To enhance the gain further, a 1×4 antenna array is designed and it can obtain a gain of more than 11.7dBi. Therefore, the proposed array is more profitable for the wireless mobile communication systems.
