© 2017 IEEE. This paper introduces a wide-band feeding method for full-wave dipole antennas. A full-wave dipole is designed to cover the band from 698 MHz to 960 MHz for cellular base station applications. Its matching circuit consists of a laddertype filter design and a quasi-quarter-wavelength resistance transformer. The proposed matching circuit can provide balanced feeding as a balun and has a compact size. The matching circuit is designed and optimized using a circuit theory model and then physically realized using microstrip lines based on full-wave simulation. The simulated reflection coefficient |S11| is < -15 dB across the entire target band, exhibiting a bandwidth of 32%.
