ABSTRACT In this paper, a novel compact magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna with broad E-plane beamwidth is proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) indoor positioning system. The ME dipole antenna is designed to obtain wideband and symmetrical radiation pattern. The angled dipole and loaded vertical metal plate are introduced to broaden the E-plane beamwidth. A 1 × 2 antenna array is designed for high gain in the H-plane. A measured −10 dB impedance bandwidth is 52% and the gains are round 5.9 ~ 7.5 dBi from 4.8 to 8.2 GHz. The measured 3-dB beamwidth in the E-plane of the ME dipole antenna array is 83° at 6.5 GHz and more than 100° at 7 GHz. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation results.

用于超宽带应用的紧凑型宽 E 平面波束宽度磁电偶极子天线阵列

摘要 在本文中，为超宽带 (UWB) 室内定位系统提出了一种具有宽 E 平面波束宽度的新型紧凑型磁电 (ME) 偶极子天线。ME偶极子天线旨在获得宽带和对称辐射图。引入成角度的偶极子和加载的垂直金属板以加宽 E 平面波束宽度。1 × 2 天线阵列设计用于 H 平面中的高增益。测得的 -10 dB 阻抗带宽为 52%，增益在 4.8 至 8.2 GHz 范围内约为 5.9 至 7.5 dBi。在 ME 偶极子天线阵列的 E 平面中测得的 3-dB 波束宽度在 6.5 GHz 时为 83°，在 7 GHz 时超过 100°。测量结果与仿真结果吻合良好。
