Abstract

Antenna elements ( 101, 102 ) used for multi-band antenna dual polarization include: four radiating elements ( 201 ), a balun element configured to feed power to the radiating elements ( 201 ), and a fastening plate ( 202 ) configured to fasten the balun element. The balun element includes two dielectric plates ( 203 ). Two signal transmission units ( 301 ), one feeding unit ( 401 ), and two filtering units ( 402 ) are printed on each dielectric plate ( 203 ). An LC resonant energy storage structure is constructed on the balun element by using the filtering units ( 402 ), and decoupling on a specific frequency band can be implemented by adjusting the filtering unit ( 402 ). Therefore, even if the antenna elements ( 101, 102 ) are applied to a scenario in which elements on different frequency bands work collaboratively, radiating elements ( 201 ) on different frequency bands are not coupled electromagnetically and strongly when the radiating elements are arranged closely.
