A novel dual-broadband dual-polarized base station antenna array with compact structure and low profile is proposed in this paper for the existing mobile communication system operating over 0.79-0.96 GHz (European Digital Dividend/CDMA/GSM) and 1.71-2.17 GHz (DCS/PCS/UMTS). The antenna array is mainly composed of five lower-band elements, ten upper-band elements, some U-shaped metal baffles, and a metal reflector with specific shape. In order to reduce the overall size of the antenna array, lower-band element is designed as octagon aperture shape that upper-band elements can be embedded in it. Two kinds of radiation elements (five for each kind of element) are applied in the antenna array as upper-band elements to achieve better radiation performance. The proposed antenna array achieves electrical downtilt (0°-14° and 0°-10° at lower frequency band and upper frequency band, respectively) by adjusting input amplitude and phase of each array element. Measured results demonstrate that the antenna array has good broadside radiation characteristics, including low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR <; 1.5), high port-to-port isolation (>28 dB), low backlobe level (>25 dB), high cross-polarization discrimination (>20 dB), and stable radiation pattern with horizontal half-power beamwidth (HPBW) 65° ± 5° at both frequency bands and all electrical downtilt angles. The peak gains of 15.1 and 17.3 dBi are obtained at lower and upper bands respectively. Owing to these advantages, the antenna array is suitable for existing 2G/3G applications in modern mobile communication systems.
