A magneto-electric dipole antenna with novel feed design with rectangular cavity is proposed, fabricated and analyzed. Due to this new feeding structure, the antenna has been able to achieve wide impedance bandwidth of 68.8% to accommodate various wireless communication applications. The stable peak gain of 10.45 dBi with unidirectional radiation pattern has also been reported for the entire range of operation. The antenna has also been able to achieve low cross polarization levels lower than −30 dB. The antenna exhibits low side lobe radiations and almost identical E plane and H plane radiation patterns in the operating frequency range of 2.0 GHz–4.1 GHz. Due to its good electrical characteristics, the antenna is suitable for various S-band wireless communication applications.
