Abstract :
A wideband dual-polarized small antenna is proposed using a crossed tapered slot antenna. Antenna height is minimized by optimizing the antenna parameters and is lightweight not to use dielectric materials. Antenna geometry for easy fabrication is also provided by combining two TSAs with a slit and a large hole on each substrate. A MIMO emulator by this dual-polarized antenna is also demonstrated.
