摘要：

A printed dipole with an integrated balun features a broad operating bandwidth. The feed point of conventional balun structures is fixed at the top of the integrated balun, which makes it difficult to match to a 50-Omega feed. In this communication, we demonstrate that it is possible to directly match with the 50-Omega feed by adjusting the position of the feed point of the integrated balun. The printed dipole with the hereby presented adjustable integrated balun maintains the broadband performance and exhibits flexibility for the matching to different impedance values, which is extremely important for the design of antenna arrays since the mutual coupling between antenna elements commonly changes the input impedance of each single element. An equivalent-circuit analysis is presented for the understanding of the mechanism of the impedance match. An eight-element linear antenna array is designed as a benchmarking topology for broadband wireless base stations.
