Wideband Compact 4-Port Dual Polarized Self-Grounded Bowtie Antenna
Journal article, 2014

We present a dual-polarized self-grounded bowtie antenna. The antenna is mechanically simple and wideband. One of the characteristics is its flexibility: it can be used either as a 4-port antenna in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems or as a directional 2-port dual-polarized antenna in radar or sensor systems. The latter application requires a balun. The 4-petal geometry of the antenna has been optimized for the best matching to 50 coax over 1.5-3 GHz. Both simulated and measured results are presented to verify the design. The antenna radiates over parts of the bandwidth similar to four Huygens source, one from each petal, each having directivity close to 4.8 dBi.
