Simple impedance-matching process is realized by using parallel dual dipoles. Meanwhile, the parallel symmetrical radiating structures minimize the cross-polarization field components dramatically. The mitigation of various undesired resonances is studied in detail. An infinite array is designed to achieve 3:1 bandwidth (6\u221218 GHz) when scanning \u00b160\u2218 in the E-\/D-planes (VSWR &lt; 2.5) and H-plane (VSWR &lt; 3.5). The cross-polarization levels remain below \u221229 dB at broadside. A 16 \u00d7 16 prototype is fabricated to demonstrate the design. The measured results are consistent well with the simulated ones. The overall size of the prototype at the lowest operating frequency is 3\u00d73\u00d70.4\u03bb03 (15\u00d715\u00d72cm3). Due to its wide bandwidth, good electronic scan performance and compact size, the proposed antenna array is a good candidate for modern wireless platforms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20185065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,6]],"date-time":"2020-09-06T23:12:49Z","timestamp":1599433969000},"page":"5065","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Ultrawideband, Wide Scanning Stripline-Fed Tightly Coupled Array Antenna Based on Parallel-Dipole Elements"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Xiuye","family":"Liang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weishuang","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhe","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianping","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Guan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China"},{"name":"Institute for Nanoelectronic Devices and Quantum Computing, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaohan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Zi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2689","DOI":"10.1109\/TAP.2016.2537388","article-title":"Compact multimode multielement antenna for indoor UWB massive MIMO","volume":"64","author":"Manteuffel","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
