Abstract :
A mutual coupling synthesis method for multi source antennas is presented in this paper. Consequences of mutual coupling between are discussed. It causes mismatching of the antennas and corruption of their radiation patterns. The proposed technique regulates these problems by applying specific weight to each port of the multi access system and optimizing each access on particular impedance. This method is applied to an EBG structure by Thevernot, M., et al, (1999 ). The results are compared to those obtained with CST Microwave Studio simulations.
