Abstract

This paper presents improvement of port-to-port isolation characteristics of a linearly dual-polarized dual-band and wideband multi-ring microstrip antenna (MR-MSA) fed by two L-probes. The linearly dual-polarized dual-band and wideband MR-MSA consists of two circular ring patches and two L-probes arranged in a multi-layered dielectric substrate. By using a thick substrate for the L-probe and arranging two ring patches as radiation elements, the proposed antenna operates wideband and dual-band characteristics. Furthermore, by arranging two L-probes at the orthogonal positions, the proposed antenna can radiate dual linear polarizations. In this paper, for improving port-to-port isolation characteristics of the linearly dual-polarized dual-band and wideband MR-MSA fed by two L-probes, a via connected to the ground plane at the center of the radiation elements is arranged. The fractional bandwidths below -10dB reflection obtained by the simulation of the MR-MSA with the via were 17.0% and 14.4%. Furthermore, the simulated isolation characteristics were more than 21.0dB and 17.0dB in the two bands. Improvement of the isolation characteristics between two ports as well as the dual-band and wideband performance of the proposed MR-MSA with the via were confirmed by the simulation and the measurement.
