When placing various antenna systems in a confined space, one has to deal with a complex electromagnetic environment and insufficient isolation between the antennas. And, although the methods of ensuring electromagnetic compatibility of such groups of radio electronic means are well known, taking into account the peculiarities of the objects under consideration, they have very limited application. The use of innovative technologies developing in recent years, including the use of screens made of metamaterials, makes it possible to significantly expand the "limits of applicability" of these methods. As the studies have shown, the screen made of metamaterial has special characteristics in comparison with traditional screens, namely: at the operating frequency of the antenna, the screen is practically permeable to electromagnetic radiation, and at the interference frequency it becomes low-transparent and works as a reflector. The results can be used to improve isolation between closely spaced antennas, such as at the tops of towers or masts.
