A Huygens source principle is used to design a wideband antenna. An electric dipole and a slot are located above a ground plane to have unidirectional broadside radiation with high front to back ratio. A symmetry radiation patterns are obtained. Linear and dual polarized antennas are designed and tested. The antennas achieve more than 50% bandwidth for both cases. The dually polarized antenna achieves around 30 dB isolation between the two ports.
