Mutual Coupling and Correlation Coefficient of a Small Antenna Designed to Radiate Directly from AMC

Abstract

We have proposed a small antenna designed to radiate directly from AMC (AMC antenna). In this paper, the calculated results of two-dimensional distribution of the mutual coupling and the correlation coefficient are discussed by the AMC antenna and a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). Especially, the mutual coupling and the correlation coefficient of AMC antenna are measured.
