Abstract—A compact patch antenna array with high isolation by using two decoupling structures including a row of fractal uniplanar compact electromagnetic band-gap (UC-EBG) structure and three cross slots is proposed. Simulated results show that significant improvement in interelement isolation of 13dB is obtained by placing the proposed fractal UC-EBG structure between the two radiating patches. Moreover, three cross slots etched on the ground plane are introduced to further suppress the mutual coupling. The design is easy to be manufactured without the implementation of metal vias and a more compact array with the edge-to-edge distance of 0.22λ0 can be facilitated by a row of fractal UC-EBG,which can be well applied in the patch antenna array.
