A low-profile metamaterial loaded antenna array with anti-interference and polarization reconfigurable features is proposed for base-station communication. Owing to the dual notches etched on the radiating electric dipoles, an impedance bandwidth of 75.6% ranging from 1.68 to 3.72 GHz with a notch band from 2.38 to 2.55 GHz can be achieved. By employing the metamaterial loadings that are arranged in the center of the magnetic dipole, the thickness of the proposed antenna can be decreased from 28 to 20 mm. Furthermore, a serial feeding network that consists of several Wilkinson power dividers and phase shifters is introduced to attain the conversion between dual-linear polarization and triple-circular polarization. Hence, the antenna could meet the demand of the future 5G intelligent application.
