Abstract

A planar dual polarization antenna for receiving and transmitting radio signals includes an upper patch plate and a metal grounding plate with a width along a first direction and a length along a second direction. A shape of the upper patch plate has a first symmetry axis along the first direction and a second symmetry axis along the second direction. The first symmetry axis divides the upper patch plate into a first section and a third section. The second symmetry axis divides the upper patch plate into a second section and a fourth section. A first geometry center of the first section and the symmetry center are separated by a first distance, and a second geometry center of the second section and the symmetry center are separated by a second distance unequal to the first distance.
