Antenna radiating element and antenna

Abstract

The present invention discloses an antenna radiating element and an antenna. The antenna radiating element includes a pair of dipoles that are disposed crosswise from one another, forming four dipole arms, and a plurality of external parasitic elements. Each external parasitic element of the plurality of external parasitic elements is: disposed between two neighboring dipole arms in the four dipole arms; and separated from the two neighboring dipole arms and other external parasitic element of the plurality of external parasitic elements. In embodiments of the present invention, the antenna radiating element has a very simple structure, may be directly formed by sheet metal parts, and is convenient to process and manufacture. Also, the parasitic element assembly achieves an effect of reducing a volume of the entire antenna, and therefore both production costs and maintenance costs are reduced.
