Mutual Coupling Reduction of Closely Spaced MIMO Antenna Based on Electric Resonator
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, Vol. 64, 1-6, 2016
Abstract
A new technique for mutual coupling reduction, based on the application of electric resonator, is presented in this paper. In this method, first a custom-designed unitcell is presented that provides a proper S12 response for the mutual coupling reduction, and then, this unitcell is used in a two-element array of wideband dipoles. According to the results, this unitcell provides a maximum reduction of 15 dB in the frequency response of the antenna array while does not have a considerable effect on the reflection coefficient and radiation pattern of the antenna. To verify the results, the antenna is fabricated and measured, and there is a very good agreement between the simulation and measurement.
