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

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 described by a coupling matrix, and the platform scattering is represented with the use of the point‐scatterer model. An algorithm based on the matching pursuit concept is proposed to determine the model coefficients. Numerical results show that the active element patterns are well described by the model. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The purpose of this communication is to discuss the effect of the mutual coupling between element arrays on the radiation pattern, and to compensate for this effect in introducing them into a power far-jield pattern synthesis array. The synthesized pattern is an optimum approximation to the prescrib
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 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
