Abstract :
This paper shows that the calibration matrix is effective for the removing the mutual coupling effect of antenna array via numerical analysis. In measurement, the antenna pattern distortion by the stand-alone antenna element situation and the calibrated array situation is almost equal. As a future work, we have to bear out the proposed calibration system in case of more than three elements situation.
