Abstract

Abstract

Based on characteristic mode analysis (CMA), a five-patch substrate integrated suspended line (SISL) antenna with suppressed unwanted higher-order modes (HOMs) achieves an enhanced bandwidth by using differential multi-point feeding (MPF) systems. The bandwidth of the proposed dual-polarized SISL antenna with the MPF system is 1.87 times wider than that of the single point feeding (SPF) system. The proposed SISL feeding system consists of two pairs of differentially-fed branch line feed structures. A prototype of the proposed differential-fed antenna is fabricated and measured. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement. The proposed dual-polarization SISL antenna can achieve realized gain from 8.1 – 10.8 dBi within a working frequency from 3.17 to 3.61 GHz (12.98%). Furthermore, the proposed SISL antenna uses low-cost substrates and has the potential for 5G applications.
