Mutual Coupling Reduction in Phased Array Antennas Applying High-Impedance Surface at X Band

Abstract This paper presents a microstrip phased array using High Impedance Surface - Electromagnetic Bandgap (HIS-EBG) in order to minimize the effects of mutual coupling among the antenna elements. Each element of the array is fed by a coaxial cable allowing the beam steering by controlling the signal of the input port of each element. This phased array operates at X Band as well as the bandgap of the HIS-EBG structure. Its main applications are satellite communication and broadcasting systems. Results show reductions in the mutual coupling up to 12 dB, and improvements in the return loss and gain.
