Mutual coupling suppression in closely spaced antennas
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A technique to significantly reduce the mutual coupling between closely spaced antennas operating at the same frequency band is presented. The method comprises the use of two ground-plane side walls that are erected vertically next to adjacent antennas. The side walls are defected with a lattice pattern of slots to form a defected wall structure (DWS). In addition, the adjacent antennas sharing a common ground plane are separated with a pair of slits in the ground plane. This technique implemented on closely packed antenna suppresses surface waves in the antenna's operation band and can provide isolation of 56 dB, which was achieved with a DWS loaded with mushroom-shape slots separating two microstrip patch antennas. In this case, the inter-antenna spacing (centre to centre) is 0.272λo and ground-plane size is 0.606×0.370λo2. Also investigated is the number of DWS slot loadings on isolation between adjacent antennas. Furthermore, the proposed technique is shown to substantially reduce mutual coupling between planar inverted-F antennas (PIFAs) and monopoles. The measured results validate the proposed technique and vindicate the simulation results.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
