Summary:
The effect of a finite substrate on the mutual coupling of a pair of microstrip patch antennas positioned along the H-plane is investigated for different substrate thicknesses and distances between antenna centers. The substrate size with the minimum mutual coupling is easily calculated by the image method. The optimum substrate sizes calculated by image method are in good agreement with the results obtained by the full wave simulation and measurement.
