Abstract :
The current distribution and the frequency dependence of self and mutual impedances of an array of straight-wire coupled antennas are calculated by a numerical method in the time domain. The antennas are excited by a time-varying Gaussian pulse. The method can easily be extended to study arrays of nonlinear loaded antennas.
