Since this structure enables electromagnetic compatibility between an- tennas located on a plane, the behaviors of the electromagnetic field along the impedance structure are investigated. The method of moments is used to solve the integral equations and the numerical results are presented and analyzed. To reduce coupling between antennas, we need to take into account both the amplitude distribution of the field along the structure and in the openings of the antennas. In addition, while designing the structure, it is necessary to control the coefficient of decoupling. Keywords: Coupling; Waveguide; Impedance Structure; Electromagnetic Compatibility 1.
