Compact Printed Arrays with Embedded Coupling Mitigation for Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Networking

The proposed prefractal DGS cell acting on the wave launched down a microstrip line. The SCD was calculated at the resonance frequency, where the DGS is reflective and creats a standing wave pattern. Only copper parts are shown here; the dielectric substrate is hidden. The SCD plot shows concurrent maxima, which are physically unrealizable due to phase shifting.
