Abstract

Herein, a new method for minimizing mutual coupling of an antenna array with confined water is proposed. In multiantenna systems, mutual coupling reduction is needed to sustain array signal processing efficiency. There are currently a variety of ways to suppress coupling, including defected ground, electromagnetic (EM) bandgaps, and advanced structures. The water absorption characteristic is devised in this innovative approach to minimize mutual coupling without a permanent alteration in the structure. Surface current between two antennas is cancelled using permittivity and water depth in a new configuration. A plexi‐glass confined water is added between the propagating elements to achieve this aim. The rectangular microstrip patch of transparent conducting components serves as the antenna array. Using scattering theories, numerical EM calculations, and anechoic chamber tests, the suggested technique shows a 15 dB decrease in coupling at center frequency (7 GHz). Other propagating functions have also been improved. The suggested framework can be used in multifunction communication networks, aerial vehicle antennas, solar panels, and naval communications because of its optical transparency.
