✦ Synopsis

A case is presented in which defibrillation produced a small explosion in a nitroglycerin patch over which a paddle had been placed. Arcing of the electrical current from the aluminum backing on the patches was the likely cause, but arcing has also occurred with nitroglycerin ointment and electrode gel. All patches and ointments should be removed from the chest of patients about to undergo defibrillation. [Wrenn K: The hazards of defibrillation through nitroglycerin patches.

## Abstract In the design process of array antennas, coupling is one of the most important elements to be considered. The real feeding‐radiated coefficients can be quite different from the theoretical ones because of this effect. In this paper, a characterization method is presented that allows eac
