Mutual Coupling Reduction Using Dumbbell Defected Ground Structure for Multiband Microstrip Antenna Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel design of multiband microstrip antenna array with dumbbell shape defected ground structure (DGS) is presented. The DGS is inserted into the ground plane between the two elements of the antenna array in order to suppress mutual coupling. Both simulation and measurement results verified that the DGS improved the radiation properties of the antenna array. Measurement results of the DGS antenna showed mutual coupling reduction of maximum 5 dB and gain enhancement to 3 dB.

A proposed sensor for landmines detection consists of two parallel microstrip antennas placed on the same ground plane and with defected ground structure between them has been investigated. The microstrip patch array with defected ground structure has the advantage of a low mutual coupling compared with the classic one. The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) is used to simulate the sensor for...
متن کاملReduction of Mutual Coupling between Patch Elements Using Split-ring Dgs
A defected structure etched in the metallic ground plane effectively disturbs the shield current distribution in the ground plane and thus, DGS potentially obtains wide reject-band, which meet the emerging application challenges. Microstrip patch antenna arrays are very popular for today’s wireless communication system. In this paper a new scheme is proposed to reduce the mutual coupling betwee...

In microstrip patch antenna array, the mutual coupling is very critical due to surface wave excitation. It leads to degradation in radiation pattern and reduction in gain. In this paper, a method to mitigate mutual coupling effect in an antenna array using Slotted Ground Structure (SGS) at 900MHz and dielectric constant 2.2 is simulated and analyzed using Ansoft HFSS 13. Simulated results show ...
