Mutual coupling between two rectangular multisegment dielectric resonator a
ntennas is investigated in both the E- and H-planes. Spacing distances up t
o 4.5 lambda are considered, with comparisons made between numerical TLM si
mulations and experimentation. Good agreement is achieved, with representat
ive plots presented. The investigation is restricted to examining the domin
ant TE111-mode, for which the radiation pattern resembles that of a magneti
c dipole. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
