Abstract:

A novel low-profile coaxial-fed Magneto-electric dipole antenna for fifth-generation mobile technology is presented here. The antenna contains a simplified and robust feeding mechanism. A new design concept for the mitigation of fabrication errors is hypothesized and proved here. The final proposed antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 11.63 GHz (23.47-35.10 GHz), covering both the n257 and n258 bands. A stable and approximately identical E- and H-plane radiation pattern with a maximum total gain of 6.9 dB is achieved here.

Keywords:

Co-axial feeding, Fabrication imperfection mitigation, ME dipole, 5G antenna, 5G base station antenna.
