Conclusion: In this article, a simple but useful decoupling
technique, which two radiation patterns have an orthogonal
characteristic of 90-degree rotational symmetry, achieving a high
isolation with 50dB, is proposed. A capacitive or inductive load is a
function of frequency, the S21 notch frequency decreasing as the value
of the capacitor or inductor increases. So, it is flexible to decouple
for multiband applications with the variation of lumped elements if
tunable switches for aperture tuning are available.
