Title :
Compensation of mutual coupling effects in array antennas
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
The possibilities of compensating for the mutual coupling in array antennas are discussed. An alternative method of viewing the matrix multiplication technique used to compensate for these effects is presented. The signals applied to the antenna ports are modified in order to neutralize the mutual coupling effects.
