Comparison of Metasurface and Conventional Dipole Antennas for Cellular Sector Applications

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The performance of metasurface and conventional dual-slant dipole array elements is studied for 4G and 5G cellular 65° sector base station applications. The metasurface dipole provides a 3-dB beamwidth stability improvement of 4° across the band of interest for both azimuth and elevation planes compared to conventional dipole antenna. Furthermore, the metasurface dipole antenna has a wider bandwidth. The proposed metasurface dipole antenna can achieve a 14 dB impedance bandwidth of 51% in frequency range of 1.7-2.88 GHz. The isolation is better than 35 dB and the stable radiation patterns have an average boresight gain of 8.4 dBi. The overall antenna size is 0.42 λ × 0.42 λ × 0.14λ over a 0.62 λ × 0.62 λ ground plane.
