Summary:
Usually, standard gain horn antennas have been used as a reference antenna in antenna gain comparison measurements. However, these horn antennas are not suitable for testing mobile communication base station antennas in 800 MHz band due to their big size and heavy weight. This paper introduces a reference antenna of a circular-folded dipole antenna type with a dual-polarized radiating element of ±45° on a rectangular flat reflector with the folded edges at both ends. Measured results of the proposed antenna of 280 mm (W) × 560 mm (H) × 100 mm (D) size show that this antenna has a gain larger than 9 dBi and a beamwidth of about 60° in the frequency range from 698 MHz to 960 MHz.
