Mantle Cloak Antenna Using Strip Conductors for Mutual Coupling Reduction at Frequency Lower Than Operating Frequency

Abstract

In this paper, a mantle cloak antenna using strip conductors for mutual coupling reduction at a lower frequency than the antenna’s operating frequency is proposed. As a result, by using the strip conductors locating around the surface of a dielectric substrate, the mutual coupling of the mantle cloak antenna at 720 MHz can be reduced, and the antenna characteristics of the antenna can be maintained at 750 MHz simultaneously.
