Popis: This article presents a wideband, dual-polarized antenna array with inverted BoR elements. The antenna structure is based on the conventional body-of-revolution (BoR) element, but the structure is inverted; i.e., instead of metallic cones, the elements are metalized cavities inside a dielectric block. This structure allows a more lightweight and low-cost design since all-metal parts are not needed. In addition to the inverted BoR structure, this paper proposes a feeding system that is fully integrated into a 5-mm-thick standard printed circuit board. The designed antenna operates at 2–6 GHz, providing 3:1 impedance bandwidth with an active reflection coefficient (ARC) < −10 dB. The ARC
