Abstract

Abstract : In this Letter, a mu‐negative metamaterial (MTM) filter‐based novel decoupling technique is presented for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas. The design process has been described in a systematic manner, starting with the basic two port monopole antenna and then adding cancellation network and finally the proposed MIMO antenna by adding the matching network. Since the presented decoupling network is developed using MTM structure, good isolation between the antennas is achieved by maintaining compactness. The presented isolation technique can be used in different applications like in developing circularly polarized and multi‐band MIMO antennas. As an example, two port circularly polarised MIMO antenna design is also presented. The proposed designs have been fabricated and the simulation results are experimentally verified.
