摘要

This study introduces an innovative technique aimed at reducing mutual coupling between two Linear polarization Magneto-Electric Dipole Antennas operating in the sub-6 GHz frequency band for 5G applications. The method encompasses the strategic placement of a metasurface between the two antennas, positioned in the XoZ-plane. The metasurface is composed of an array of Split Ring Resonator Wall (SRRW) cells, specifically designed along the YoZ-plane to create a stop band effect within the operating bandwidth of the antennas. By integrating a 1 × 5 array of SRRW cells, a substantial reduction of 28 dB in mutual coupling is attained, without jeopardizing the performance of the antennas. Experimental results confirm that the prototype antenna achieves isolation levels between − 30 and − 50 dB across the 2–4 GHz frequency range. The SRRW structure does not affect the impedance bandwidth (IBW), yet contributes to slight enhancements in the front-to-back ratio and radiation gain.
