Abstract:
A unit cell for an antenna comprises a conductive ground plane, a low-band radiator, a pair of high-band radiators, and a conductive partition disposed along an edge intersecting a pitch axis of the conductive ground plane. The low-band radiator comprises a pair of orthogonally coupled dipoles each having a vertical stem portion and an arm portion. Each arm disposed in a plane orthogonal to the conductive ground plane. The arm portions, collectively and on-edge, produce an L-shaped radiator parallel to the conductive ground plane. Each of the high band radiators comprises a pair of cruciform radiators, each cruciform electrically connected to, spaced-apart from, and parallel to the conductive ground plane. The conductive partition isolates at least a portion of the RF energy transmitted by the low and high-band radiators.
