Abstract
Knowledge of the mutual interaction between antenna elements is of great importance for the design of practical antenna arrays, especially for phased arrays and ultra‐low side‐lobe arrays. In this paper, to fully take into consideration the mutual coupling in an array environment, a mutual‐impedance formula based on synthetic asymptote and variable separation [^1^] is used in an existing correction procedure in order to speed up the computation for microstrip patch arrays. The simulation results show that the performance of the finite microstrip patch arrays can be successfully predicted. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract In this paper, a method to evaluate array patterns is presented. This method considers all the mutual‐coupling 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 linear‐dipole

## Abstract In this paper, the effect of mutual coupling on adaptive array antenna is investigated. Through an example of a two‐element dipole array, it is shown that the effect of the mutual coupling is detrimental on adaptive array and can not be neglected. A method proposed in the literature to
