<p><em>In this paper, we perfect the mutual coupling of compact microstrip array antenna by designing a new defected ground structure. When the resonant frequency is 2.45GHz, array element spacing is 0.1 times of free space wavelength, we introduce new defected ground structure into antenna array. Then we use HFSS to make simulation and compare the changing of antenna's parameters before and after adding defected ground structure. The results demonstrate that the parameters representing mutual coupling in new model can reduce by 30dB, which effectively perfects the mutual coupling of compact microstrip array antenna.</em><em></em></p>

This paper proposes frequency reconfigurable antenna for outdoor wireless communication systems, the 4 x 4 array antenna has designed at two resonant frequencies 7.5 GHz and 8.85 GHz. The periodic dumbbell geometry etched on the ground layer newly proposed with dual functionality, to control desired frequency and to couple radiating patches at the top substrate with feeding line at the bottom substrate. The reconfigurability of the patch antenna is controlled by utilizing the copper pad of the feeding network with OPEN and SHORT states. The reconfigurable antenna has been simulated and optimized using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) to get the desired responds. The good agreement between simulation and measured results indicates that the frequency reconfigurable patch array antenna using Periodic Dumbbell Slotted Aperture Structure (FRPDSA) is feasible to support outdoor wireless communication systems.
