A dual-wideband dual-polarized antenna using metasurface for the fifth generation (5G) millimeter wave (mm-wave) communications is proposed. It is designed and analyzed based on characteristic mode theory (CMT). The proposed metasurface is mainly composed of a 3×3 square-patch, in which its four cor...
