Abstract
This paper proposes a novel decoupling method for two antennas operating in adjacent/contiguous frequency bands using a cascaded power dividing decoupling network (C- PDDN). An n-order C-PDDN can be designed to increase antenna isolation at n desired frequency points. Each PDDN is composed of two power dividers, two transmission lines, and one reactive component. Explicit design formulas are founded for determining design parameters. For illustration, a two-order C- PDDN is applied to a testing array. Results show that it could increase isolation by over 20 dB, verifying the effectiveness.
