Abstract
A dual polarization current loop radiator realized with a via, probe, or exposed coaxial feed using part of a vertical metal structure of the radiator to guide current to a feed point of a horizontal metal plate capacitively coupled to the vertical metal structure is described. The vertical metal structure may be either stamped and attached to the ground plane or it can be formed along with metal backplane structure of the radiator. The top of the vertical metal piece is separated from the horizontal metal plate by a predetermined distance dielectric spacing. The spacing may be realized either a thin dielectric core or a non-conductive adhesive material.
