A miniaturised double‐layer slit‐patch structure is introduced for decoupling two closely spaced co‐planar waveguide‐fed printed monopoles with a common ground. The double‐layer structure consists of a slit etched on the common ground between the antennas and a conducting dipole element printed on a very thin dielectric film separating the two layers. Simulated results of the antennas’ performance as well as measurements of fabricated prototypes are presented.
