  13. Conclusion • The coupling between two rectangular microstrip patch antennas in layered anisotropic dielectrics was investigated. • Initially, the E- and H-plane coupling between two microstrip antennas on a single anisotropic substrate was investigated. • It is shown that the permittivity in the y-direction (direction of the optical axis) has the largest impact on the mutual coupling in BOTH the E- and H-planes. • An increase in the permittivity of the substrate in the direction of the optical axis reduces the traditionally stronger E-plane coupling while increasing the traditionally weaker H-plane coupling.

  14. Conclusion • Next, the E- and H-plane coupling between two microstrip antennas with a single anisotropic superstrate was investigated. • It is shown that the mutual coupling is slightly reduced in both the E- and H-planes by an increase in permittivity in both directions of the superstrate (i.e., in the direction of the optical axis and in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis). • Finally, the two microstrip antennas were separated by a single anisotropic superstrate and the coupling was investigated. • It is shown that both components of the permittivity affect the mutual coupling in both the E- and H-planes.
