D. Eclercy et al., COMPENSATING FOR THE MUTUAL COUPLING EFFECT ON A SYNTHESIZED PATTERN ARRAY, Microwave and optical technology letters, 12(1), 1996, pp. 50-52
The purpose of this communication is to discuss the effect of the mutu
al coupling between element arrays on the radiation pattern, and to co
mpensate for this effect in introducing them into a power far-field pa
ttern synthesis array. The synthesized pattern is an optimum approxima
tion to the prescribed power pattern in the minmax sense. A study is r
ealized for shaped sectarian and cosecant beams. (C) 1996 John Wiley &
