1. An antenna module comprising:
a dielectric plate;
a plurality of radiators, each of the plurality of radiators being disposed on and extending on a horizontal plane spaced apart from a first surface of the dielectric plate;
a first feeding part disposed on the first surface of the dielectric plate;
second feeding parts spaced apart from the first feeding part, each of the second feeding parts having a plate shape; and
a metal plate disposed on a second surface of the dielectric plate opposite to the first surface of the dielectric plate,
wherein each of the second feeding parts is positioned between the first feeding part and a corresponding radiator of the plurality of radiators,
wherein a portion of the first feeding part is overlapped with each of the second feeding parts and the corresponding radiator of the plurality of radiators in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and
wherein the portion of the first feeding part is configured to provide signals to the plurality of radiators via the second feeding parts electrically coupled with the first feeding part.
 
10. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
one or more transmitters;
one or more receivers; and
an antenna module associated with the one or more transmitters and the one or more receivers, the antenna module comprising:
a dielectric plate;
a plurality of radiators, each of the plurality of radiators being disposed on and extending on a horizontal plane spaced apart from a first surface of the dielectric plate;
a first feeding part disposed on the first surface of the dielectric plate;
second feeding parts spaced apart from the first feeding part, each of the second feeding parts having a plate shape; and
a metal plate disposed on a second surface of the dielectric plate opposite to the first surface of the dielectric plate,
wherein each of the second feeding parts is positioned between the first feeding part and a corresponding radiator of the plurality of radiators,
wherein a portion of the first feeding part is overlapped with each of the second feeding parts and the corresponding radiator of the plurality of radiators in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and
wherein the portion of the first feeding part is configured to provide signals to the plurality of radiators via the second feeding parts electrically coupled with the first feeding part.
