摘要

A dual-polarized antenna element is presented for 5G New Radio (NR) base station applications covering the n77 (3.3–4.2 GHz), n78 (3.3–3.8 GHz), and n79 (4.4–5.0 GHz) bands. The design integrates slot-loaded crossed dipoles, Y-shaped feeding structures, and three sets of coplanar peripheral parasitic elements to achieve wideband operation with high port isolation and spurious-mode suppression. Measurements show a 48.5% (3.28–5.38 GHz) and 49.4% (3.28–5.43 GHz) impedance bandwidth (VSWR ≤ 1.5), isolation better than 25 dB, and a peak gain of 8.03–9.01 dBi with ≥ 90% efficiency. Stable radiation patterns with a 65° ± 5° half-power beamwidth (HPBW) and cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) above 25 dB confirm its suitability for 5G base station deployment. The proposed structure offers a balanced trade-off between bandwidth, isolation, and design simplicity, making it a practical candidate for sub-6 GHz massive MIMO systems.
