Abstract
Cross Polarization Discrimination is a key factor to evaluate the performance of base station antennas. In this talk, two novel methods to design ±45° dual-polarized base-station antennas with enhanced cross polarization ratio (XPD) are presented. The first method to improve XPD is by addition of four horizontal parasitic elements around a simple ±45° dual-polarized base-station antenna. The second method is by addition of four vertical parasitic elements between a simple ±45° dual-polarized base-station antenna and a reflective ground. Two ±45° dual-polarized base-station antennas were designed, designed, fabricated and measured to verify the two proposed methods. In addition, the proposed methods can also be employed to wide axial ratio beamwidth circularly polarized antenna design.
