Abstract
An antenna and a base station including the antenna. The antenna includes a unit cell including a radiating element, a dielectric substrate, and a feed network. The radiating element includes first and second slots. The dielectric substrate includes a central cavity filled with a dielectric element. The feed network is proximate to the central cavity between the dielectric element and the radiating element and includes first and second horizontal feeds and first and second vertical feeds. The first and second horizontal feeds are separated by an air gap and a first vertical feed to feed a transmission to the first slot. The first and second vertical feeds are connected to the first and second horizontal feeds, respectively, and connected to feed first and second portions of the radiating element, respectively.
