“…One of the techniques that have been used is the employment of electromagnetic gap (EBG) structures; they generally consist of a periodic order of dielectric and metallic elements. One of the most commonly used EBG structure to reduce mutual coupling is the mushroom-like EBG structure [26][27][28][29][30]. In [26], an EBG structure is introduced between microstrip antenna array elements, which have an edge-to-edge separation of 0.75𝜆 𝑜 (where 𝜆 𝑜 is the free space wavelength at the operating frequency) at 5.8…”

In this thesis, a negative permeability (μ) metasurface is used to reduce the mutual coupling of a 2-port Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) rectangular inset fed microstrip antenna.That was designed using the transmission model of analysis, simulated and optimized using CST microwave studio. The microstrip antenna that operates at the (5.9-6.1) GHz band is designed for 5G applications, at the extended 6 GHz band (5.925-7.125) GHz. The extended band was chosen because of its new additional spectrum, which results in less noise interference. Three metasurface wall based antenna designs and two metasurface superstrate based antenna designs are conducted. The metasurface wall based antenna designs are formulated by placing a metasurface wall vertically between the two radiating antenna elements. The metasurface superstrate based antenna designs are formulated by suspending a metasurface superstrate above the 2-port microstrip antenna. Both the metasurface wall and superstrate are made up metasurface unit cells, which are formulated by periodic split ring resonators printed on a FR-4 dielectric substrate. The metasurface cells are responsible for introducing a negative permeability medium, which converts the electromagnetic propagating waves into evanescent hence rejecting mutual coupling.In the first metasurface based antenna design, a single metasurface wall is vertically placed between the two microstrip antenna elements. A slight increase of 0.5 dB in mutual coupling is observed. In the second design, a double metasurface wall is vertically placed between the two antenna elements. A mutual coupling reduction of 11 dB is achieved. In the third design a triple metasurface wall is also placed between the two antenna elements, a mutual coupling reduction of 25 dB and up to 17 % bandwidth enhancement is achieved. In the fourth design a single metasurface superstrate is suspended above the 2-port microstrip antenna. A mutual coupling reduction of 32 dB is achieved. Lastly, in the fifth design a metasurface superstrate is also suspended above the 2-port microstrip antenna. A mutual coupling reduction of 22 dB, a 38% bandwidth enhancement and a 2.09 dB gain enhancement is achieved.

Abstract-In this letter, a dual circular polarized steering antenna for satellite communications in X-band is presented. This antenna consists of printed elements grouped in an array, able to work from 7.25 up to 8.4 GHz in both polarizations: left-handed circular polarization (LHCP) and right-handed circular polarization (RHCP). The module antenna is compact, with narrow beamwidth, and reaches a gain of 16 dBi. It has the capability to steer in elevation to ±10° and ±40° electronically with a Butler matrix. In order to reduce the mutual coupling between adjacent patches, electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures are introduced. These EBGs combine double-layer and edge location via in order to reduce the size, without changing the low-permittivity substrate, and therefore maintaining the high radiation efficiency of the antenna.

“…To reduce m-coupling, several decoupling methods or techniques have been proposed, which include, but are not limited to, electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures [2], defected ground structures (DGS) [3], metamaterials structures [4], decoupling networks [5], etc. The major drawback of these techniques are that these are mostly three dimensional structures; hence, they introduce fabrication difficulties and high cost.…”

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have several advantages, such as providing high capacity, spatial diversity, etc. MIMO antennas suffer with high mutual coupling (m-coupling) between the ports. In this paper, the metasurface with negative permeability (MNG) is designed and utilized for m-coupling reduction of a two-port rectangular microstrip MIMO antenna (Antenna 1). Two metasurface superstrate-based MIMO antennas with reduced m-coupling for fifth generation (5G) are proposed. The first design (Antenna 2) is constructed using a single metasurface superstrate suspended above the two-port MIMO microstrip antenna. The second design (Antenna 3) is constructed using a double metasurface superstrate layers suspended above the two-port MIMO microstrip antenna. Both metasurface-based MIMO antennas achieve significant m-coupling reduction over the entire bandwidth. The edge-to-edge separation between the two patches is 0.29λ0. The proposed Antenna 3 obtains the reduced m-coupling of −44 dB along with the wide bandwidth of 5.92−6.2 GHz and a maximum gain of 6.79 dB. The proposed antennas are suitable for extended sub-6 GHz 5G applications with the operating frequency band of 5.9–6.1 GHz.
