This paper presents a four-element compact phased Planar Inverted-E Antenna (PIEA) array for 6 GHz beamforming applications. For compact phased arrays, the mutual coupling is a severe performance degrading factor. Therefore, three mutual coupling reduction techniques are employed, which include (i)...
