An object of the present disclosure is to provide a radiation element and a bandwidth extension structure. The radiation element according to the present disclosure comprises: a basic radiation element and one or more bandwidth extension structures; wherein the one or more bandwidth extension structures are mounted on the basic radiation element to extend the operating bandwidth of the basic radiation element. The bandwidth extension structure according to the present disclosure is mounted on the basic radiation element to extend the operating band of the basic radiation element. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages: the radiation element according to the present disclosure has one or more bandwidth extension structures to extend the operating bandwidth of the basic radiation element, such that by combining the plurality of bandwidth extension structures and the basic radiation element, the radiation element may work well at bands beyond its original operating band, which eliminates the need of using a plurality of basic radiation elements due to different operating bandwidths as required, thereby saving costs.
