  • Abstract
    The isolation properties of four different EBG structures are compared in planar antenna arrays. A novel 2-D fork-like structure proposed in this work is found to be the most efficient for the reduction of the mutual coupling between E-plane coupled antennas. The simulation results are validated by measurements
