Out-of-Band Mutual Coupling Suppression for Microstrip Antennas Using Characteristic Mode Analysis and Shorting Pins

A method combining characteristic mode analysis and shorting pins is presented to reduce out-of-band mutual coupling of linearly polarized rectangular microstrip antennas. Virtual feeds are applied to the antennas for depicting the contributions of each mode to the normal operation and mutual coupli...
