It consists of two orthogonal dipoles, fork-shaped feeding lines, an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC), and parasitic strips. By utilizing the Brillouin dispersion diagram, the AMC is designed as the antenna reflector. It has a wide in-phase reflection bandwidth of 54.7% (1.54\u20132.70 GHz) and a surface-wave bound range of 0\u20132.65 GHz. This design effectively reduces the antenna profile by over 50% compared to traditional antennas without an AMC. For demonstration, a prototype is fabricated for 2G\/3G\/LTE base station applications. Good agreement between the simulations and measurements is observed. The measured \u221210-dB impedance bandwidth of our antenna is 55.4% (1.58\u20132.79 GHz), with a stable gain of 9.5 dBi and a high isolation of more than 30 dB across the impedance passband. As a result, this antenna is an excellent candidate for miniaturized base station antenna applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23125647","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,16]],"date-time":"2023-06-16T08:56:01Z","timestamp":1686905761000},"page":"5647","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Low-Profile Broadband Dual-Polarized Dipole Antenna for Base Station Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4700-5592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Feng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}]},{"given":"Mengyuan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AVIC Research Institute for Special Structures of Aeronautical Composites, Jinan 250104, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4648-754X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhiyi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China"}]},{"given":"Jiahui","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}]},{"given":"Qunhao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}]},{"given":"Yulin","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Metrology and Measurement Engineering, China Jiliang University, Hangzhou 314423, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4157","DOI":"10.1109\/TWC.2019.2922609","article-title":"Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces for energy efficiency in wireless communication","volume":"18","author":"Huang","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
