Patent ID: 7579999

Claim:
A dual polarized dipole radiator which radiates in two polarization planes (P 1 , P 2 ) located perpendicularly or substantially perpendicularly to one another, the dual polarized dipole radiator being structurally formed in the manner of a dipole square having four sides, each side of the dipole radiator formed in the manner of a dipole square comprising between two corner points two dipole components which, in plan view, are oriented at least approximately in the axial extension, the polarization planes (P 1 , P 2 ) passing, in each case, through an opposing pair of corner points, two respective dipole components extending toward a common corner point being held via two feed arms and supplied with electricity, at a feed point provided on the respective dipole component, opposing an associated corner region, the two respective feed arms, which lead to two dipole components provided on a side of the radiator at the respective feed points, being arranged substantially in parallel, the respective dipole components extending toward a common corner region and the feed arms connected thereto, each feed arm extending at least substantially perpendicularly to the associated dipole component, and each connected to a support portion extending transversely and perpendicularly to a radiation plane E, two respective adjacent support portions each forming between them a balun with a slot, the dual polarized dipole radiator comprising: a strip and/or board material, the dual polarized dipole radiator being constructed in one piece from said strip and/or board material, and individual portions of the dual polarized dipole radiator, including the dipole components, the feed arms, the support portions forming a balun and an associated base connecting the support portions, being connected to one another by bending and/or tilting and/or folding lines formed in the strip and/or board material.
