A Miniaturized Dual-Band Dual-Polarized Base
Station Antenna Loaded with Duplex Baluns

Abstract—A novel miniaturized dual-band and dual-polarized
base station antenna loaded with duplex baluns is proposed in this
letter. The duplex balun consists of a lower-band filter structure
(LFS) and an upper-band filter structure (UFS). The LFS
contains a stepped-impedance filter, an open-circuited stub, and
an impedance matching section. The UFS contains a highpass
filter and an impedance matching section. The proposed antenna
has two independent current paths, which enables it to operate in
dual bands, and the two paths are bent to achieve its small overall
size. By miniaturizing the antenna and loading LFS&UFS, the
operating bands of 1.71-2.17 GHz and 3.22-3.7 GHz, the compact
size of 0.24×0.24×0.18 LL ( LL is the wavelength at the lowest
3
frequency of the lower band), the lower coupling
coefficients(<-20dB), the normal in-band radiation characteristics,
and good out-of-band suppression characteristics(>20dB at the
lower-band ports as well as >23dB at the upper-band ports) are
obtained. It represents an excellent scheme for 5G applications.

I. INTRODUCTION
T HE speedy development of 5G makes it necessary to
consider its compatibility with other generations of
communication systems. Therefore, the antenna and array for
multi-band are ideal solutions. In recent years, many dual-band
and even multi-band antennas have been proposed. There are
two main schemes to achieve multi-band operation of the
antenna system: one is to use separate antenna units for each
band, and the other is to use a multi-band antenna unit.
Through the loading of metamaterials [1]-[2],baffles [3]-[4],
and wave transmission structures [5], the hetero-band antennas
realize the shared aperture radiation through different spatial
combinations. The normal operation of each band can also be
achieved through the staggered arrangement [6]-[10] or
up-and-down placement [11] of upper and lower band antennas.
However, the design of the above schemes is relatively
complex, and the space cost is also high. Therefore, people tend
to use a single antenna working in multiple bands.
[12]-[15] achieve dual-band operation by integrating
different radiation modes on the single antenna. However,

when it is applied to an array, it needs to load a duplexer [16],
which will introduce additional insertion loss. For this reason, it
is necessary to integrate the function of multi-band operation on
a single antenna without the use of a duplexer.
Many scholars are very interested in the research of duplex
antennas [17]-[21]. A duplex scheme for the microstrip antenna
is proposed in [17], which uses two sets of split-ring resonators
as channel filters. [18] extends it to dual-polarization
applications. The duplex antenna proposed in [19] consists of a
radiating patch and a feeding network consisting of two sets of
resonator-based filtering channels. A DIB(duplexer-integrated
balun)-loaded base station antenna is proposed in [20], which
applies a U-shaped resonator and  /4 parallel-coupled
resonators to achieve duplex characteristics. [21] proposes a
full-duplex filtenna which uses radiating SIW cavities and
common feeding.
However, the aforementioned literature has the problem that
the bandwidth is difficult to expand, which limits the
application of duplex antennas in broadband systems. In order
to meet the requirements of wide dual-band, miniaturization,
and integration of the current mobile communication systems,
this letter proposes a new miniaturized dual-band and
dual-polarization duplex antenna loaded with DIB. The filter
structures integrated onto the balun are proposed, and the
structures of different bands are designed separately. The
antenna realizes the broadband of 1.71-2.17 GHz & 3.22-3.7
GHz, satisfactory out-of-band suppression, and good radiation
characteristic.
The rest of this letter is arranged as follows: Section II
introduces the design process of the proposed antenna and the
working mechanism of the LFS&UFS. Section III presents the
complete proposed antenna. To verify the relevant electrical
properties, the antenna prototype is fabricated and measured.
At the same time, the comparison between the proposed
antenna and similar antennas proposed previously is also
presented. Eventually, the conclusion is drawn by Section Ⅳ.
II. ANTENNA DESIGN AND OPERATING MECHANISM
A. The Original Antenna
A miniaturized dual-band antenna used in base stations is
designed in this section. The structure of the antenna is shown

integrated baluns, a resonant ring, four angular metal columns,
and a radiating surface. The basic dimensions of the antenna are
marked in Fig.1 and shown in TABLE I. The dielectric
substrate used in the above structure is FR4, whose dielectric
constant is 4.4. The current distributions of the antenna when it

We can learn from Fig.10(a) that the proposed antenna
operates at 1.71-2.17 GHz and 3.22-3.7 GHz, which almost
coincides with the bands of the original antenna, indicating that
the loading of LFS&UFS maintains the filtering effect while
possessing satisfactory impedance matching characteristics.
The results of the coupling coefficients between different ports
are given in Fig.10(b). It’s noticed that the S13&S24 can be
kept in a relatively low range (<-20dB) since both LFS and
UFS have corresponding filtering functions and no electrical
contact, while, the cross-polarization coupling (S12&S34) is
basically less than -30dB. It’s noticed that all the coupling
coefficients of the proposed antenna are less than -20dB, which
is in line with the requirements of the base station antenna. It’s
noticed from Fig.10(c) that the gain of Port1 is greater than
7dBi (at the lower band) and less than -15dBi (at the upper
band), and the gain of Port3 is greater than 7dBi (at the upper
band) and less than -13dBi (at the lower band), which indicates
that the lower-band port and the upper-band port operate
normally in their corresponding bands, and at the same time, a
satisfactory out-of-band suppression effect is obtained due to
the existence of LFS and UFS. Fig.10(d) shows the efficiency
of the antenna in different bands. It can be seen that the
efficiency in the lower band is greater than 0.8. Since the
electrical size of the upper band is larger than that of the lower
band, the loss of the upper band is slightly higher than that of
radiation direction greater than 30dB (in the lower band) and
20dB (in the upper band), indicating that the radiation
characteristics of the proposed antenna are satisfactory. The
HPBW of the antenna is shown in Fig.12. It can be seen that the
3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8
upper band is about 57°, which basically meet the requirements
of the base station antenna.
In an effort to emphasize the advantages of the proposed
antenna, some relevant electrical parameters of it are compared
with those reported in the previous literature, which are listed in
TABLE II. We can learn that the proposed antenna has a more
compact size compared with the references mentioned in
TABLE II. In addition, due to the broadband characteristics of
the proposed structure, the proposed antenna can achieve a
wider bandwidth of 23%. Moreover, it could be used in
dual-polarized systems compared with [17] and [21]. Besides,
satisfactory out-of-band suppression is realized.
IV. CONCLUSION
This letter designs a novel dual-band broadband base station
antenna loaded with duplex baluns, which can effectively
reduce the insertion loss and extra volume caused by the RF
front-end. The proposed antenna operates at 1.71-2.17 GHz and
3.22-3.7 GHz, which has a size of 0.24×0.24×0.18 LL 3
and all
kinds of coupling coefficients less than -20dB, and has good
radiation characteristics in the operating band while having
good out-of-band suppression: >20dB of the lower-band ports
and >23dB of the upper-band ports. We can figure out that the
proposed antenna has a smaller volume, wider bandwidth, and
satisfactory out-of-band suppression, which indicates that the
antenna has a huge prospect in 5G applications.
