Abstract :
A cross plate antenna (XPA) is constructed by placing a cross-shaped conducting plate around a conducting body of revolution. The XPA realizes the omnidirectional radiation required for a base station antenna, showing an ultrawideband characteristic with an antenna height of less than 0.1 wavelength and a horizontal length of less than 0.4 wavelength at the lower edge operating frequency. In addition, a forbidden band is created within the VSWR frequency response.
