A Novel Wave-transparent and Decoupling Antenna in Broadband Dual-Polarized Dual-Band Shared-Aperture Array

Abstract This letter proposes a novel wave-transparent and decoupling antenna in broadband dual-Polarized dual-Band shared-aperture array. It is implemented by kneading the double-arrow-stripe-shaped decoupling structure into the frequency-selective metasurface structure of the lower-frequency-band (LFB) antenna arms. The LFB antenna radiator can be considered as frequency-selective and array-decoupling metasurface for the higher-frequency-band (HFB) antennas placed below. The antenna system consists of 2 × 2 HFB (3.3-3.6 GHz)arrays and an LFB (1.65-2.58 GHz) antenna with wave-transparent and decoupled structure (WTDS). Then, without adding additional structure, the in-band isolations of co- and cross-polarized between HFB antennas are promoted to >25.6 dB and >25 dB only by relying on the antenna form of the LFB antenna itself.
