Abstract: Signal coupling arrangements are described in which the effect of unwanted signals transferred between two antennas is compensated for. In one arrangement a microstrip edge coupler is used as a compensation network to provide a cross-coupling path for the transfer of a compensating signal between two antenna signal paths. In another arrangement, an antenna assembly includes cross-slots which, in association with a conductive ring, provide two mutually orthogonally polarized radiation signals and connections to the conductive ring have closely spaced portions which provide compensation for and minimize the effect of unwanted mutual coupling.
