Low mutual coupling antenna array for WLAN application

- Summary

Abstract

A mutual coupling reduction antenna design for WLAN MIMO application is proposed. The proposed antenna array consists of two rectangular patch antennas, six parallel metal strips, a single substrate layer, and common ground plane. About −42 dB mutual coupling is achieved at the 5.8 GHz resonant frequency. Both simulation and measurement results confirm improvements in mutual coupling at about 30 dB when compared with those without metal strips. The radiation patterns are almost unaffected by adding these metal strips in the proposed antenna.
