Decoupling Between Two Back-to-Back PIFAs With Continuous Frequency Bands

This letter presents a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFAs) system for Wireless Fidelity 6 (Wi-Fi 6) and Wi-Fi 6E applications with compact size and high isolation. To realize decoupling in a guided way, single-mode structure is proposed based on common mode and differential mode theory. For the demonstration, the mutual coupling between two back-to-back asymmetric PIFAs was reduced by etching two slots on the ground. The measured results show that the two PIFAs, respectively, achieve the impedance bandwidth of 5.14–6.03 GHz and 5.90–7.24 GHz, and the port isolation higher than 17.4 dB across 5.14–7.24 GHz frequency band.
