Abstract
A radiating element of a broadband antenna comprises a foot supporting first and second components disposed in a first plane which are two half-wavelength symmetrically fed dipoles generating a linear dual polarization, both comprising two arms. According to the invention, the radiating element further comprises at least one third component chosen from among a dipole or a patch disposed within a second plane placed above the first plane, and each of the components is made up of a volume fractal pattern.
