Abstract

The present invention discloses an antenna radiating element and an antenna, where the antenna radiating element includes a pair of crosswise disposed dipoles and parasitic element assemblies; the parasitic element assembly is disposed in an included angle formed by two neighboring dipole arms of the crosswise disposed dipoles; the parasitic element assembly is fastened to the dipole; and a radiation signal transmitted by the dipole is reflected and converged by using the parasitic element assembly. In embodiments of the present invention, the antenna radiating element has a very simple structure, may be directly formed by sheet metal parts, and is convenient to process and manufacture. Also, the parasitic element assembly achieves an effect of reducing a volume of the entire antenna, and therefore both production costs and maintenance costs are reduced.
