A compact dual-polarized printed dipole antenna for wideband base station applications is presented in this communication. The proposed dipole antenna is etched on three assembled substrates. Four horizontal triangular patches are introduced to form two dipoles in two orthogonal polarizations. Two integrated baluns connected with 50 Omega SMA launchers are used to excite the dipole antenna. The proposed dipole antenna achieves a more compact size than many reported wideband printed dipole and magneto-electric dipole antennas. Both simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna has a port isolation higher than 35 dB over 52% impendence bandwidth (VSWR < 1.5). Moreover, stable radiation pattern with a peak gain of 7 dBi - 8.6 dBi is obtained within the operating band. The proposed dipole antenna is suitable as an array element and can be used for wideband base station antennas in the next generation IMT-advanced communications.
