© 2018 IEEE. This paper presents the configuration and experimental results of a novel wideband dual-polarized base station antenna with superior performance. The proposed antenna consists of four electric folded dipoles arranged in an octagon shape that are excited simultaneously for each polarization. Experimental results show that this element has a wide bandwidth of 46.4% from 1.69 GHz to 2.71 GHz with ≥ 15 dB return loss. Across this wide band, the variations of the half-power-beamwidths (HPBWs) of the two polarizations are all within 66.5° ± 5.5°, the port-to-port isolation is > 28 dB, and the cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) is > 25 dB.
