Abstract—This paper reports an innovative technique aimed at diminishing the mutual interference, technically termed ‘mutual coupling’, between two Microstrip Patch Antenna (MPA) elements. These elements, operating together at 5.8 GHz, are placed in proximity, separated by only 7 mm, which frequency. The core of our investigation revolves around the strategic placement of various metamaterial structures between these two adjacent Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) elements. The study reveals a striking observation: without the incorporation of metamaterial, the mutual coupling coefficient, denoted as |S21|, stands at −21.7744 dB. However, a transformative shift occurs with the introduction of a specific metamaterial composed of five Circular Complementary Split-Ring Resonator (CSRR) unit cells. This configuration results in a significant enhancement, reducing the |S21| parameter from −21.7744 dB to −43.3581 dB. This significant reduction showcases the effectiveness of our approach. Further examination of the proposed MIMO antenna, integrated with the Circular CSRR metamaterial, unveils a suite of impressive characteristics. Notably, it boasts a reflection coefficient (|S11|) maintained below −10 dB, a noteworthy feat in antenna design. Moreover, the antenna demonstrates a superbly high value of diversity gain, quantified at 9.99999, alongside an exceptionally low Envelope Correlatzicient (ECC), recorded at a minuscule 0.000001. These results demonstrate that the proposed MIMO antenna, enhanced with the circular CSRR metamaterial, effectively reduces mutual coupling while maintaining favorable reflection and diversity performance. The design offers improved isolation, low ECC, and high DG, indicating its suitability for compact, high-efficiency MIMO antenna applications in wireless communication systems.
