Abstract :
This study implements a concept to reduce the effects of antenna coupling on efficiency, correlation, diversity gain, and Shannon capacity of two closely spaced antennas. Antenna system performance without and with different matching and compensating networks is presented. Improved performance is demonstrated in the upper 700 MHz band for an antenna element separation of 0.08 wavelengths.
