This work presents the design of a low profile Fabry-Perot cavity-based multiple-input-multiple-output antenna with low correlation coefficient. The fields of closely placed antenna elements are tilted by using a phase-gradient partially reflective surface (PRS), thereby decreasing the correlation coefficient. The PRS is designed in such a way that its reflection phase is complementary to that of the ground plane. The PRS decorrelates the fields of the two radiating elements when placed at a height of λ/10 above them resulting in a reduction of the correlation coefficient by almost 95% for an isotropic environment. This height is considerably less than λ/4, which has been reported previously.
这项工作展示了一种基于低剖面法布里-珀罗腔的低相关系数多输入多输出天线的设计。通过使用相位梯度部分反射面(PRS)使紧密放置的天线单元的场倾斜,从而降低相关系数。PRS的设计方式使其反射相位与接地平面的反射相位互补。当PRS放置在两个辐射单元上方λ/10的高度时,它会使这两个辐射单元的场去相关,在各向同性环境中,相关系数降低了近95%。这个高度远小于先前报道的λ/4。
