Antenna mutual coupling suppression over wideband using embedded periphery slot for antenna arrays by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Virdee, Bal Singh, Shukla, Pancham, See, Chan, Abd-Alhameed, Raed, Khalily, Mohsen, Falcone, Francisco, Limiti, Ernesto

“…Attributes of this technique are (i) significant improvement in the maximum isolation between the adjacent antennas by 26.7 dB in X-band, & >15 dB in Ku and K-bands; (ii) reduction in edge-to-edge gap between antennas to 10 mm (0.37λ); and (iii) improvement in gain by >40% over certain angular directions, which varies between 4.5 dBi to 8.2 dBi. The proposed technique is simple to implement at low-cost.…”
