Here, we present the applicability of elliptically shaped metasurfaces in order to reduce the mutual coupling between two closely spaced antennas. First, we consider two strip dipole antennas resonating at f= 1 GHz and f= 5 GHz, which are separated by a short distance of d= λ/10 (at f= 5 GHz). (Case I)
Second, we consider two strip dipole antennas resonating at f= 3.02 GHz and f= 3.33 GHz, which are separated by a short distance of d= λ/10 (at f= 3 GHz). (Case II)
To present how the mutual blockage is overcome, we consider three different scenarios of isolated, uncloaked, and cloaked for each case.
Case I
28
We consider Antenna I (isolated) and Antenna II (isolated) which resonate at f= 1 GHz and f= 5 GHz, respectively, with omni-directional radiation patterns as shown below. Each antenna is matched to a 75-Ω feed.
Antenna I Antenna II
W= 4 mm
L= 130.5.5 mm
Δ= 0.2 mm W= 4 mm
L= 27.5 mm
Δ= 0.2 mm
Neighboring Uncloaked Dipole Antennas
29
Now, the antennas are placed in close proximity to each other. The presence of Antenna II does not have much effect on Antenna I since its length is small compared to the wavelength of the resonance frequency of Antenna I, but Antenna I changes the matching characteristics and radiation pattern of Antenna I drastically.
f= 1 GHz f= 5 GHz
d= 6 mm
How to Cloak Antenna I?
30
Since the length of Antenna I is 2.5 times the wavelength of Antenna II, therefore, we propose to use the analytical approach for infinite length as a good approximation to find the required metasursurface for this case.

First of all, we consider the antenna I (Isolated Case), which resonates at f= 3.02 GHz with an omni-directional radiation pattern as shown below. The S11 of the antenna along with its dimensions are shown below. The antenna is matched to a 75-Ω feed.

f= 3.33 GHz W= 4 mm L= 41.5 mm Δ= 0.2 mm
Then, we consider the antenna II (Isolated Case), which resonates at f= 3.33 GHz with an omni-directional radiation pattern as illustrated below. The S11 of the antenna along with its dimensions are shown below. The antenna is matched to a 75-Ω feed.

Now, the antennas are placed in close proximity to each other. As expected, the presence of each of the antennas affects the radiation pattern of the other one drastically because the near-field distribution is changed, and therefore, the input reactance is changed remarkably.
f= 3.02 GHz f= 3.33 GHz
36
In this slide, the antenna I covered with the spacer and the metasurface is presented. To achieve a good matching at the desired resonance frequency of 3.02 GHz, we reduced the length of the antenna from L= 45.8 mm to L= 41.4 mm. The S11 parameter, permittivity of the spacer, and also, the dimensions of the cloak structure are shown below.

To achieve a good matching at the desired resonance frequency of 3.02 GHz, again, we reduced the length of the antenna from L= 41.5 mm to L= 38.8 mm. The S11 parameter, permittivity of the spacer, and also, the dimensions of the cloak structure are shown below.

The reflection coefficients at the input port of the Antenna I and the Antenna II in the cloaked case (the antennas are in close proximity to each other) are shown here. As can be seen, the impedance matching of the antennas are good near the resonant frequency of each isolated strip dipole antenna.

Conclusions
47
In this presentation, we proposed the idea of utilizing elliptically shaped cloak metasurfaces (which are used to cloak metallic strips) to reduce the mutual coupling between neighboring strip monpole and dipole antennas.
In Case I, the strip monopole/dipole antennas have been designed to resonate at f= 1 GHz and f= 5 GHz and separated by a short distance of d= λ/10 (at f= 5 GHz). In Case II, the strip monopole/dipole antennas have been designed to resonate at f= 3.02 GHz and f= 3.33 GHz and separated by a short distance of d= λ/10 (at f= 3 GHz).
Each antenna’s radiation properties are restored in a way that the radiation patterns are nearly similar to the isolated case.
