Decoupling of Two Closely Located Dipoles Using Metasurfaces of Resonant Dipoles and Split-Loop Resonators

Abstract

We present numerical and experimental validations of decoupling between two very closely located dipole antennas using metasurfaces. Compared to decoupling by a single passive scatterer, decoupling by metasurfaces reduces negative effects over the radiated signal. Simulation and measurement results demonstrate the possibility of decoupling between two active dipoles using metasurfaces of passive dipoles and split-loop resonators (SLRs).
