Abstract
A radiating element for use in a dual-polarized radiating apparatus with isolation between polarization channels has a dielectric body having one or more conductive radiators thereon. The dielectric body has oppositely outwardly extending lateral edge portions which extend beyond lateral outer edges of the conductive radiators. Cooperating joining structure interengages an edge of each dielectric body with an adjacent edge of an adjacent dielectric body to form at least a portion of the dual polarized radiating apparatus.
