Dual-Band Structure-Shared Antenna with Large Frequency Ratio for 5G Communication Applications

A dual-band structure-shared antenna with large frequency ratio is proposed in this letter by integrating two substrate integrated waveguide slot antennas (SIWAs) on the branches of dipole. In the proposed structure, dipole is fed by coaxial connector while SIWAs are fed by two microstrip lines. To improve the stability of the dipole and the isolation among three antennas, microstrip high-pass filter is introduced. Measured results show that the proposed antenna works at 27.3-28.8 GHz with directional radiation pattern and 3.02-5.03 GHz with omnidirectional radiation pattern.
