Abstract

A small array composed of three monopole elements with very small element spacing on the order of λ/6 to λ/20 is considered for application in adaptive beamforming. The properties of this 3‐port array are governed by strong mutual coupling. It is shown that for signal‐to‐noise maximization, it is not sufficient to adjust the weights to compensate for the effects of mutual coupling. The necessity for an RF‐decoupling network (RF‐DN) and its simple realization are shown. The array with closely spaced elements together with the RF‐DN represent a superdirective antenna with a directivity of more than 10 dBi. It is shown that the required fractional frequency bandwidth and the available unloaded Q of the antenna and RF‐DN structure determine the lower limit for the element spacing. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract Some beamforming strategies are presented for compact arrays in wireless systems. To rigorously account for mutual coupling, we rely on the exact active element pattern method. By considering a compact and low‐cost array operating in the HiperLAN band, it is shown that the proposed meth
