Decoupling of antennas by means of plane elements
Abstract
The paper presents a theoretical evaluation of the possibility of reducing the mutual coupling of antennas near a flat conducting surface by means of diffracting elements oriented perpendicularly or along the line of coupling. Results show that diffraction screens are highly efficient for the decoupling of slot antennas in a flat metallic surface. Also shown is the possibility of reducing the mutual coupling of slot antennas by means of plane longitudinal screens.
