T. Aubreton et al., INFLUENCE OF THE CONDUCTING SUPPORT ON THE COUPLING BETWEEN 2 MICROSTRIP ANTENNAS, Microwave and optical technology letters, 8(1), 1995, pp. 21-24
In this article we show that, when the direct coupling between antenna
s is very weak, the limited support, on which two microstrip patches l
ie, can be the source of an important parasitic coupling. We consider
also the influence of the dimensions and the shape of this support. Th
e theoretical results and the measurements are in a very good agreemen
t in the validity domain of the method. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, In
