Ultra-Small Single-Negative Metamaterial Insulator for Mutual Coupling Reduction of High-Profile Monopole Antenna Array

Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 72, 197-205, 2017
Abstract
A novel single-negative magnetic (SNG) metamaterial (MTM) insulator is designed to reduce mutual coupling between high-profile monopole antennas. As a kind of metamaterials, the proposed SNG MTM-resonator utilized concentric rings embedded complementary metal structures. Then, an insulator is achieved with a highly compact structure. The band-gap of the insulator is attributed to the negative permeability of the magnetic resonance. A well-engineered MTM-resonator is then embedded in between a high-profile monopole antenna array for coupling reduction. The antenna array is designed, fabricated, and measured. Both numerical and experimental results indicate a mutual coupling reduction of more than 17 dB. The 20 dB isolation bandwidth about 16% is obtained. The proposed prescription with electrically small dimensions and high decoupling efficiency opens an avenue to new types of high-profile antennas with super performances.
