## 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

✦ Synopsis
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-square error matching of the acti¨e and stand-alone element patterns is shown to be more effecti¨e than the mutual-impedance approach. The coupling-matrix model is also extended for more complex antenna arrays, and an example is pro¨ided to illustrate the effecti¨eness of the extended model.

## 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 six‐elem
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 active‐phased array radars. The basic Meander line antenna element has been designed to obtain linear horizontal polarization with a wide bandwidth and wide beamwidth in S‐band frequency. T
## Abstract The electromagnetic dual‐primal finite‐element tearing and interconnecting (FETI‐DPEM) algorithm is applied to the three‐dimensional (3D) full‐wave analysis of mutual coupling between antenna arrays mounted on a large platform. For large antenna arrays with repeated unit cells, the geom
## Abstract The active element patterns of antenna arrays are strongly affected by the interaction between the elements and the mounting platform. In this article a combined model is proposed to model the array response, including both mutual coupling and the platform effect. The mutual coupling is
