Design of an indoor repeater antenna with high isolation using metamaterials

Abstract

In this article, an innovative indoor repeater antenna with high isolation is proposed. The necessary impedance bandwidth is obtained using the coupling between the main and parasitic patches. A high isolation between transmitting and receiving antennas is achieved using metamaterial. The fabricated indoor repeater antenna has a VSWR less than 1.5, a gain higher than 9.6 dBi, and an isolation between the transmitting and receiving antennas greater than 80 dB over the WiBro band from 2.3 to 2.5 GHz. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Metamaterial cavity for the isolation enhancement of closely positioned dual-polarized relay antenna arrays

“…In this article, a novel metamaterial cavity for the isolation enhancement of dual‐polarized relay antenna arrays is proposed. Different from the reported techniques in , the proposed metamaterial cavity improves the isolation by reducing the coupling of free space radiation. The metamaterial cavity for the backhaul antenna (transmitting antenna) is composed of four meta‐surfaces and a metal reflector.…”

“…Many studies have focused on the surface‐wave suppression effect by using structures such as EBG , defected ground structure , frequency selective surface , parasitic coupling structure , and metamaterials . The experimental results in show that by using this combined structure of the mushroom‐like EBG and choke structure of metal wall, the isolation level can be improved by at least 30 dB in the radar's operation band.…”

“…The above‐mentioned methods may be useless for the isolation enhancement of dual‐polarized multiantenna system or antenna array. In addition, the isolation enhancement in is not achieved by space‐radiation coupling reduction. The isolation structure is often designed near the central area between the two antennas or antenna arrays if achieving mutual coupling reduction by surface‐wave suppression.…”

A compact dual-band 2 × 1 metamaterial inspired mimo antenna system with high port isolation for LTE and WiMax applications

“…To reduce mutual coupling, many methods have been investigated, including the use of decoupling network, slotted meander‐line resonator (SMLR), neutralization line, coupling parasitic element, orientation of antenna element, electromagnetic (EM) bandgap structures to reduce the surface wave, DGS, and the use of metamaterials (MTM) …”
