A Method to Enhance the Mutual Isolation of Ports Between Different Antennas
In the deployment of fifth generation (5G) base station antenna
the antenna is usually placed together with the original antennas to save tower space. However
antennas working in different frequency bands will inevitably interfere with each other
resulting in the reduction of the mutual isolation between antenna elements
and affecting the antenna performance. To solve the problem
the author selects the second generation (2G) antenna working in the 1 710~1 880 MHz band and the 5G antenna working in the 3 400~3 800 MHz band as the example. They are placed close to each other
and a double-strip structure (DSS) is set around the radiating arms of the low band element. The double-strip structure resonates in the high frequency band. It can effectively reduce the radar cross section (RCS) of the low band element and absorb energy from the low band element in the high frequency band
thus improving the mutual isolation of the two antenna elements' ports in the high band. The simulation results show that the mutual isolation between the low and high band elements with the same polarization is improved by 5~20 dB in the high band when the coupling suppression structure is added. In addition
the coupling suppression structure will not introduce additional loss. The prototype is manufactured and tested
and the measured results are in good agreement with the simulated ones. To sum up
the decoupling method proposed in this paper has the advantages of high integration and no extra gain loss. It can be applied in the multi-frequency and multi-mode base station antenna system.
