Abstract :
The mutual coupling between microstrip antennas is studied by applying the reaction theorem and the cavity model. A semianalytic formula is derived for disc antennas which takes into account the dependence on the relative angular position of the antennas, as well as on the angular feeding point poisition. Theoretical results are in good agreement with measurements.
