Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, Vol. 37, 133-142, 2013
Abstract
A general design procedure of decoupling networks, between two coupled antennas, is proposed using a single transmission line connected between the input ports of the antennas at a specified distance. A rigorous analysis for the decoupling circuit is introduced considering the return loss of the antennas into calculations. Furthermore, using numerical optimization, enhancement of decoupling between the antenna ports achieved. Full-wave analysis and measurements are provided to verify the proposed technique.
