Abstract:
A dual-polarized antenna system for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves comprising:at least one cruciform radiating element module aligned, using dipoles, at angles of +45.degree. and -45.degree. with respect to a vertical direction and also with respect to a horizontal plane perpendicular to said vertical direction,a conductive reflector disposed on a back side of said at least one radiating element module,first and second conductive side wall sections, each disposed in a generally vertical plane on each lateral side of said at least one radiating element module, at least one slot being provided in each said side wall section, the at least one slot being formed in the respective side wall section at a vertical level of a respective radiating element module, at least one of a position and dimensions of each said slot being determined so that the slots radiate other than at a resonance thereof.
