Method and apparatus for beamforming using polarized antenna in a wireless communication system

Abstract

A method and apparatus for beamforming using a polarized antenna in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor configured to process a signal, and a multi-polarized antenna including a plurality of antenna elements, configured to transmit the signal. The plurality of antenna elements include an electric-field dipole antenna and a magnetic-field dipole antenna, and a current is applied to the electric-field dipole antenna and the magnetic-field dipole antenna in the same direction or in opposite directions.
