In this paper, suppression of mutual coupling is achieved using compact waveguided metamaterials (WG-MTMs) in between elements of a densely packed microstrip array. Both the E-plane internally folded complementary split ring resonator and the H-plane internally folded complementary split ring resonator are employed to reduce the mutual coupling between adjacent elements. Coupling suppression of...

Biomedical implantable antennas play a vital role in medical telemetry applications. These types of biomedical devices are very helpful improving and monitoring patients’ living situations on daily basis. In the present paper, miniaturized footprint, thin-profile bear-shaped in-body antenna operational at 915 MHz industrial, scientific, (ISM) band is proposed. The design straightforward truncat...

This paper presents the design of a compact rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA) for wireless applications. A metal plate has been attached to top surface of the RDRA to achieve significant reduction in the resonant frequency of the antenna. A simple microstrip feeding mechanism has been used to excite this compact rectangular DRA. Performance parameters such as resonant frequency, i...
