Abstract :
An efficient numerical technique for calculating mutual coupling in antenna arrays based on the characteristics of an isolated element is presented. Numerical results for linear arrays of collinear and parallel electric dipole antennas (that is also extendable to other antenna types) are presented and a comparison is made with calculations using the WIPL-D code.
