Mutual Coupling Reduction of Microstrip Patch Antenna Array Using Slotted Ground Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 an improvement in mutual coupling, return loss and gain.

A new multiple C-slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed in the present study. A patch antenna is a wide-beam narrowband antenna. The microstrip patch antenna consists of a very thin metallic strip (patch) placed a small fraction of a wavelength above a ground plane. The patch can be designed in any possible shape and normally made of conducting materials such as copper or gold. This study...

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 ant...

متن کاملMutual Coupling Reduction in Patch Antenna Arrays Using a Planar Compact EBG Structure
An important issue in antenna array design is reduction of mutual coupling. In microstrip antennas this reduction can be achieved by using electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures. These structures prevent the propagation of surface waves on the substrate of a microstrip antenna array. This paper presents a new configuration of a planar compact electromagnetic bandgap structure to reduce mutua...
