This letter proposes a dielectric superstrate to reduce the couplings between copolarized and cross-polarized antenna elements in realistic base station (BS) arrays. The mutual couplings are reduced by adjusting the permittivity and profile of the dielectric superstrate to create “reflected” waves to neutralize the original coupling wave. The dielectric superstrate is a simple structure that is ea...Show More
