In addition, the radiation unit can be compatible with other radiation units with any frequency range to form a broadband antenna, so that the flexibility of the application range of the antenna is greatly improved.

Furthermore, a limiting piece 7 is further arranged between two adjacent radiating element bodies 1, and the limiting piece has the same function as the coupling piece 2, so that on one hand, the strength of the radiating element can be increased, on the other hand, the accuracy of a coupling gap 5 between the adjacent radiating element bodies 1 can be controlled, and in addition, the standing wave ratio of the vibrator can be adjusted by controlling the accuracy of the coupling gap 5. In this embodiment, the limiting member 7 is a plastic limiting member.
Each radiating element body 1 has the same structure and is in a plate-like structure, and as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the radiating element body includes a first dipole arm 11 and a second dipole arm 12 that are integrally formed, so that the antenna radiating element according to the embodiment of the present invention includes 8 common dipole arms 11 and 12, where the first dipole arm 11 and the second dipole arm 12 are common dipole arms.

The integral structure of the first dipole arm 11 and the second dipole arm 12 can effectively shorten the size of the antenna and widen the working frequency range of the antenna, so that the formed antenna has the characteristic of broadband, and in addition, the strength of the antenna can be effectively enhanced due to the integral structure.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, the slit holes 8 are elongated rectangular holes, the number of which is set to 1, i.e. the entire radiation unit comprises 4 slit holes 8; in alternative embodiments, the number of slit holes 8 in the embodiment shown in fig. 3 may be 3 for each radiating element body 1, or 2 for each radiating element body 1, wherein the number of slit holes 8 in fig. 4 is larger than the number of slit holes 8 in fig. 3.
