Abstract
A dual-polarized multiband antenna includes first and second radiating element modules having first and second dipole elements. First dipole elements are positioned at right angles to one another to transmit and/or receive radiation in the first frequency band range with two linear orthogonal polarizations. The dipole elements form a dipole square. The second radiating element module transmits or receives radiation in a second frequency band range higher than the first frequency band range. The second module has dipole elements orthogonally related to one another and aligned parallel or at right angles to the first dipoled elements. The second dipoles are arranged in a cruciform.

A dual polarized multiband antenna comprising:
- a reflector;
- a first radiating element module having first dipole elements positioned at right angles to one another for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic radiation in a first frequency band range with two linear orthogonal polarizations, said first dipole elements being arranged in a dipole square and located in front of the reflector with the dipoles being aligned in an alignment of ±45° with respect to a vertical, and a second radiating element module for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic radiation in a second frequency band range higher than the first frequency band range;
- said second radiating element module being arranged within the dipole square of the first radiating element module;
- said second radiating element module including dipole elements aligned orthogonally with respect to one another;
- said second dipole elements being aligned parallel or at right angles to said first dipole elements;
- the ratio of a mid-frequency of said second frequency band range to a mid-frequency of the first frequency band range being between 1.5 and 4.
A dual polarized multiband antenna for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation with two linear orthogonal polarizations and two frequency band ranges comprising:
