A Method of Reducing Mutual Coupling Using an Extra Coupling Path
Paper in proceeding, 2019

A method of reducing mutual coupling for a large-scale array with the wideband and beam steering characteristics is proposed in this work. An extra coupling path is intentionally introduced to reduce the mutual coupling among adjacent radiating elements. A millimeter wave array is used to verify the proposed method. The simulation results show that the mutual coupling between adjacent elements can be reduced to below -15 dB over the band of 19-39.5 GHz and this concept is viable even for the beam steering angle range of ±45°.
