A Building Block Assembly Dualband Dual-Polarized Antenna With Dual Wide Beamwidths for 5G Microcell Applications

A dualband dual-polarized antenna element with dual wide beamwidths for 5G microcell applications is initially proposed and investigated in this paper. To achieve very low manufacturing cost, an unprecedented method is applied to the antenna element, in which the antenna components are printed separ...
