This paper proposes a novel decoupling method for two antennas operating in adjacent/contiguous frequency bands using a cascaded power dividing decoupling network (C- PDDN). An n-order C-PDDN can be designed to increase antenna isolation at n desired frequency points. Each PDDN is composed of two power dividers, two transmission lines, and one reactive component. Explicit design formulas are founded for determining design parameters. For illustration, a two-order C- PDDN is applied to a testing array. Results show that it could increase isolation by over 20 dB, verifying the effectiveness.

This paper presents a dual-band decoupling network for two antennas. Design formulas are derived with systematic design procedures. Two benchmarks are presented to elaborate on the design procedure. Results show that the network offers impedance matching, high isolation, and high efficiency at both frequencies, verifying the proposed concept and theory.
