Abstract: A low-cost dual-polarization dipole antenna has been presented for LTE mobile communication base station applications in this paper. The proposed antenna was fabricated on a thickness of 0. 8 mm FR4 substrate using standard PCB process. Using the vertical and folded microstrip lines to construct the radiation arm, the operating bandwidth of the antenna can be effectively expanded, and the compact physical size can be obtained. Then, two perpendicularly crossed dipoles are used to form an antenna with ±45°dual polarization characteristics. The experimental results demonstrate the bandwidth (VSWR<1. 5) of the fabricated antenna element are 52. 9% (1. 705-2. 93 GHz) with an isolation greater than 19 dB, and the average gain and half-power beam width are 8. 67 dBi and 67°±8°respectively. The measured data shows good agreement with the simulations. It can be a candidate for mobile communication base station applications.
