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

β¦ Synopsis
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 discussed.

## 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
