Wideband Crossed Dipole Antenna for Base Station Antenna

Wideband crossed dipole antenna for base station antenna has been proposed in the present article. Impedance bandwidth of the dipole antenna has been enhanced by using the gap-coupling technique, whereas the gain of the proposed antenna is enhanced by using the reflector. Meanwhile, omnidirectional radiation patterns in E-plane & H-plane are also achieved. The proposed antenna with reflector provides 1.52 GHz–3.08 GHz impedance bandwidth and 5.98 dB to 7.16 dB antenna gain which is very useful for GSM application.
