Abstract :
A compact and planar dual-antenna structure is reported which combines a printed monopole and a half-slot antenna to provide dual polarization. Different excited current modes are utilized to obtain low mutual coupling between elements. A prototype is fabricated and the measured results are presented. Relative bandwidth of 23.5% and isolation of better than 23 dB are achieved.
