Abstract:
1. A dual-polarized antenna element arrangement comprising: at least two dipoles arranged in a dipole square, providing two mutually perpendicular diagonals, at least one balanced line feeding said dipoles, the dipoles being interleaved and fed such that the antenna element arrangement is electrically equivalent to a cruciform dipole providing two mutually perpendicular polarization planes running parallel to the two mutually perpendicular diagonals which are formed by the antenna element arrangement, the dipoles each having two mutually interacting half-dipole components providing a corner region remote from the center of the antenna element arrangement, said two half-dipole components being arranged such that they run transversely substantially at right angles to one another and end at a distance from one another in said corner region, a transverse strut coupled to the mutually interacting half-dipole components, the mutually interacting half-dipole components, being electrically connected via their feed point and also via a second connection with respect to said transverse strut, the transverse strut acting on the respective half-dipole components, and being offset with respect to the corner region.
