Sumario:In this paper, we propose a closely spaced two-port microstrip patch antenna system with significant isolation enhancement (&#x003E; 90 dB), which can be deployed for MIMO as well as full-duplex transceiver systems. We deploy a resonant combination of rectangular defected ground structure (DGS) and a near-field decoupling structure (NFDS) in the vicinity of a closely spaced (inter-element spacing <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$= {0.01\lambda _{0}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) two-port microstrip patch antenna system at 5.85 GHz. This drastically reduces the port-to-port mutual coupling (&#x003C; &#x2212;90 dB), which can help in self-interference cancellation for full-duplex point of view without any additional circuitry, while still preserving desired impedance matching performance (&#x003C; &#x2212;15 dB). The broadside gain of individual antennas in the two port MIMO system is 7.11 dBi, with 97&#x0025; efficiency and co-to-cross-polar level &#x003C; 25 dB. The proposed concept is validated by full-wave simulation in CST Microwave Studio, as well as experimental results on fabricated prototype. Moreover, MIMO performance metrics such as total active reflection coefficient (<italic>TARC</italic>), envelop correlation coefficient (<italic>ECC</italic>) and channel capacity loss (<italic>CCL</italic>) are analysed using simulation and measurement.
