Abstract

A broadband dipole antenna is provided, in which a radiator includes a plurality of radiation pattern units for transmitting and receiving a radio signal, the radiation pattern units have radiation patterns of resonators formed thereon, and a power supply and balun structure supports and supplies power to the radiator. Each of the plurality of radiation pattern units of the radiator has at least a dual radiation pattern structure having an inner radiation pattern and an outer radiation pattern.

Claims

1. A broadband dipole antenna comprising:

a radiator including a plurality of radiation pattern units for transmitting and receiving a radio signal, the radiation pattern units having radiation patterns of resonators formed thereon; and

a power supply and balun structure for supporting and supplying power to the radiator,

wherein the plurality of radiation pattern units of the radiator together constitutes at least a dual radiation pattern structure having an inner radiation pattern and an outer radiation pattern, and

the outer radiation pattern generates oscillation having a low-frequency band that is preset from a broadband, the inner radiation pattern generates oscillation having a high-frequency band that is preset from the broadband, and a width, length, and shape of each of the plurality of radiation units are set to generate, as a whole, frequency characteristics corresponding to a combination of the oscillation having the low-frequency band and the oscillation having the high-frequency band.

2. The broadband dipole antenna of claim 1, wherein the radiation patterns of the plurality of radiation pattern units are shaped into at least one of a square, a square ring, and a circle and have a predetermined width, length, and shape.

3. The broadband dipole antenna of claim 1, further comprising a broadband compensation pad formed at a center of the other surface of the radiator.

4. The broadband dipole antenna of claim 1, wherein the power supply and balun structure includes a power supply cable and a balun cable, for supporting the radiator.

5. The broadband dipole antenna of claim 1, wherein the power supply and balun structure comprises a power cable and balun support that is formed by integrating a plurality of pipes each having a diameter equal to a diameter of a power supply cable, is fixed to a reflection plate at a lower end portion thereof, and is electrically connected to the plurality of radiation pattern units of the radiator at an upper end portion thereof,

wherein the power cable is inserted into a predetermined one of the plurality of pipes.

6. The broadband dipole antenna of claim 1, wherein the power supply and balun structure comprises:

a power cable and balun support that is formed by integrating a plurality of pipes each having a diameter equal to a diameter of a power supply cable, is fixed to a reflection plate at a lower end portion thereof, and is electrically connected to the plurality of radiation pattern units of the radiator at an upper end portion thereof; and

an auxiliary power supply device inserted into a predetermined one of the plurality of pipes and thus connected to a power cable at one end thereof and connected to the radiator at the other end thereof, for forming a power supply path.

7. The broadband dipole antenna of claim 6, wherein the auxiliary power supply device comprises:

an auxiliary power supply pin having one end connected to the power supply cable and the other end connected to the radiator, for forming the power supply path; and

an auxiliary ring for supporting the auxiliary power supply pin and isolating the auxiliary power supply pin from an inner surface of the pipe.
