In this paper, a novel self-restrained (SR) decoupling technique (DT) is presented to increase the isolation between two antennas. The 'self-restrained' feature means that the decoupling structure is only attached to the individual antenna itself without demanding any connection to other being coupled ones. The design parameters of the resultant decoupling structure can be precisely derived to achieve high isolations. A two-element monopole array is employed as a benchmark. Results show that good matching and high isolation are achieved simultaneously.

In this paper, a low cost planar two-port circularly polarized MIMO patch antenna with the polarization diversity is presented. Three grounded stubs and a mirrored F defected ground slot are used to achieve simultaneous matching and isolation between the two patch and offset feeding for circular polarization. The proposed antenna covering 2.5-2.55 GHz is fabricated and measured. Its measured performance show that \mathbf{\mathrm{S}_{11} < -10\ \mathrm{dB},\ \mathrm{S}_{12} < -20\ \mathrm{dB}} and axial ratio \mathbf{< 3\mathrm{dB}} for the whole band. Its radiation patterns and gain are also measured and an agreement with the simulation result has been achieved.

In this paper, a novel wideband decoupling network (DN) is presented, which consists of two 2-way Wilkinson power dividers (WPDs), three transmission lines, and two reactive components. Rigorous design formulas are presented along with systematic design procedures. The transmission-line lengths and component reactances are precisely calculated to achieve high antenna isolation. Measurement results show that a very wide isolation bandwidth of 23.7% can be achieved after using the proposed DN.

A general and systematic approach is the first time proposed in this paper to design the neutralization line (NL) for isolation enhancement in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna arrays. Each NL consists of a metal strip and a reactive component attached at its middle position. It is connected with every two antenna radiators to generate an additional coupling path against the original antenna coupling for isolation enhancement. A general network model that leads to a systematic design procedure is developed to meet the required isolation criteria. Three practical examples are presented and used to verify the proposed NL-based decoupling technique (DT). …

In this paper, a systematic and calculation-based parasitic decoupling technique (PDT) is proposed to mitigate the mutual coupling between two closely coupled antennas. The adopted parasitic decoupling structure consists of two transmission lines connected to the feed lines of antennas and a parasitic element connected with a transmission line and terminated by a reactive load. Rigorous decoupling theory and systematic design procedures are presented. The lengths of transmission lines and value of reactive load can be precisely calculated to increase antenna isolation. The superiority of the proposed PDT is verified by four decoupling examples. The simulated and measured results show …
