## Abstract In this paper, a method to evaluate array patterns is presented. This method considers all the mutualβcoupling effects, and assumes that the field of an element is the sum of two distinct modes: an antenna mode and a diffraction mode. Good results are obtained for a finite linearβdipole

Abstract
This paper presents least squares (LS) and total least squares (TLS) method solutions to compensate mutual coupling effects in a small linear antenna array operating over a narrow frequency band. The validity of the two methods is verified by experimental results performed on a sixβelement microstrip patch array operating in the 2.4βGHz band. The obtained results prove the validity of the two methods and show the superiority of the TLS method over the LS method. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The coupling matrix is a standard way to represent the mutual-coupling effect between elements in an antenna array. In this paper, two commonly used approaches to determine the coupling matrix are examined, and their limitations are discussed. The coupling matrix obtained from the minimum mean-squar
The element-pattern correlation explains the existence of correlation between the signals received by different antenna elements in an antenna array. Usually the array losses are ignored. A more realistic model for pattern correlation in a two-element array including losses is presented and discusse
## Abstract Mutual coupling study has been carried out on microstrip Meander line antenna elements for use in activeβphased array radars. The basic Meander line antenna element has been designed to obtain linear horizontal polarization with a wide bandwidth and wide beamwidth in Sβband frequency. T
