This application provides a radiating element, an antenna array, and a network device, to avoid mutual shielding between dipoles during multi-band transmission, and therefore improve radiation performance. The radiating element includes one or more dipoles and a supporter. The one or more dipoles are suspended on the top of the supporter, and each of the one or more dipoles is connected to the supporter at a specific angle. A dipole arm of each dipole is covered with a periodic structure. The periodic structure is configured to enable an electromagnetic wave radiated to a first surface of each dipole to be incident to a second surface of each dipole, where the first surface and the second surface are any two opposite surfaces of each dipole.

A dual-polarized crossed dipole (1) comprises a first and a second dipole antenna element (2, 3). Each dipole antenna element (2, 3) comprises two dipole halves (2a, 2b, 3a, 3b), each having an earth connector (4, 8), a signal connector (6, 10), a dipole earth wing (5, 9) and a dipole signal wing (7, 11). The signal connector (6) of the first dipole antenna element (2) runs parallel to the earth connector (4) of the first dipole antenna element (2), and the signal connector (10) of the second dipole antenna element (3) runs parallel to the earth connector (8) of the second dipole antenna element (3). The dipole signal wing (7) and the dipole earth wing (5) of the first dipole antenna element (2) run in opposite directions. The same applies to the dipole signal wing (11) and the dipole earth wing (9) of the second dipole antenna element (3). Each dipole half (2a, 2b, 3a, 3b) is of single-part design in each case. The dipole signal wing (11) of the second dipole antenna element (3) passes through beneath the dipole signal wing (7) of the first dipole antenna element (2), or the dipole earth wing (9) of the second dipole antenna element (3) passes through beneath the dipole earth wing (5) of the first dipole antenna element (2).

A communication system using vector and scalar potential is disclosed. The system uses field-free potentials signaling for many applications where the absence of shielding effects in sea water, plasma or other dense media due to the fact that the absence of (E,B) fields eliminates the possibility of induced charge and current response in the media being transited.
