Abstract
The disclosure provides antenna assemblies and methods for reducing mutual coupling of coupled antennas. According to an embodiment, the antenna assembly, comprises: a first antenna; and a second antenna coupled with the first antenna; wherein a first capacitive load is provided to the first antenna at a first position of the first antenna so that a mutual coupling between the first antenna and the second antenna is reduced. According to the present disclosure, at least some of the following advantages may be achieved: 1) no any component that connects or structure between coupled antennas is required; 2) the capacitive load is very little frequency dependent so that the method is highly suitable for antenna decoupling at low frequencies; 3) the required capacitive load takes almost no space in the circuit layout; and 4) the load does not noticeably change antenna radiation patterns.
