Summary:
A simple approach to reduce the mutual coupling between two closely-spaced dual-band antennas is proposed in this paper. The dual-band antenna has a fork shape, which inherently shows good isolation at the upper band (5.2 GHz). By utilizing the neutralization technique, the isolation at the lower band (2.45 GHz) is significantly improved, making the pair of antennas suitable for dualband MIMO system in WLAN applications.
