Design of a Dual-Polarized Crossed Dipole with Broadband and Broad Beam width

In this paper, a dual-polarized crossed dipole with broadband and broad beam width is proposed. The crossed dipole fed by microstrip baluns consists of two printed dipoles which are placed vertically across the metal pedestal. With this configuration, the simulated and measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna covers 8 GHz to 12 GHz ($\text{VSWR} \leqslant 3.0$). By setting t...
