Abstract: Dipole is the most common radiation element used for base-station antenna, with the height being 1/4lof the operator frequency. This paper present a novel low-profile dipole, the height can drop to 1/8lof the operator frequency, and the impedance and the radiation characteristics achieved a good result within 1. 72 ~2. 17GHz. Electromagnetic simulation software ANSOFT HFSS was used to model and simulate a compact dual-polarized antenna, which can cut half of the volume to the conventional antenna. Meanwhile, the experimental results coincide with the simulation. Thus, this antenna have great practical value with small size,low cost and stability performance.
