The patent US11996622B2 describes a multiband multiple input multiple output (MIMO) dual polarized antenna assembly designed for efficient performance in both lower and upper frequency bands. The assembly features a ground plane and includes at least two dual polarized lower band antenna elements positioned at opposite sides of the ground plane, which define a lower band peripheral boundary. Nested within this boundary are at least two dual polarized upper band antenna elements. The design incorporates an upper feeding network that connects opposing pairs of lower band radiating elements and a lower feeding network positioned beneath it, which utilizes ultra-wideband duplexers to facilitate feeding of the antenna elements. The assembly is structured to enhance performance while maintaining a compact profile.

Further technical details reveal that the lower band radiating elements consist of orthogonal units with folded dipoles, which are designed to provide isolation and reduce the overall profile of the antenna assembly. The upper feeding network employs co-planar microstrip lines for balanced feeding, while the duplexers are equipped with multistage filters to ensure ultra-wideband matching and low insertion loss. The upper band antenna elements are identical and include ultra-wideband dipoles, baluns, and parasitic directors, contributing to their dual polarization capabilities. The materials used for the antenna elements and feeding networks are specified as aluminum, which may enhance durability and performance. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated antenna assembly aimed at improving communication efficiency across multiple frequency bands.
