Abstract [en]
This letter describes an asymmetrical coplanar strip (ACPS) wall to suppress the mutual coupling between two closely spaced 5.8-GHz microstrip antennas. The ACPS wall, which is inserted vertically between the two antennas, introduces an additional coupling path to reduce the antenna coupling, occupying just a small area between the two antennas. The decoupling effect of the proposed structure is verified by the simulation and measurement. The experimental results show that the achieved isolation is better than 35 dB and reaches a maximum of 54.3 dB at 5.8 GHz, with an extremely close antenna distance of 0.03 lambda(0) (edge-to-edge distance). The measured patterns indicate that the proposed structure also improves the radiation of the microstrip antenna.
