Application of Wire Media Layers for Coupling Reduction in Antenna Arrays and Microwave Devices

Application of wire media for reduction of a mutual coupling of radiating elements is considered. We present a design, which allows for simultaneous decoupling for TM and TE polarizations. We show that the mutual coupling can be reduced by 20 dB for TM polarization and by 7-8 dB for TE polarization. Theoretical estimations are supported with experimental results.
