Patent ID: 8199063

Claim:
A dual-band dual-polarized antenna for a mobile communication base station, comprising: a reflection plate having a linear edge; a first radiation device module for transmitting and receiving two linear orthogonal polarizations for a first frequency band, the first radiation device module generally having a square shape and including a plurality of dipoles arranged to form the square shape, wherein each of the dipoles comprises two dipole halves generally forming each vertex of the square shape and has a shape bent at 90 degrees, each of the dipoles substantially having a transverse side and a vertical side wherein the vertical side locates on the reflector plate, and in each of the dipoles, one of the dipole halves forms a side of the square shape with a dipole half of an adjacent dipole, and the other of the dipole halves forms another side of the square shape with a dipole half of another adjacent dipole, at least one of the sides of the square shape being parallel with the linear edge of the reflection plate; and a second radiation device module for a second frequency band which is arranged within the square shape of the first radiation device module, and includes a plurality of dipoles generally arranged to form a cross-shape.
