Abstract :
A method is proposed for calculating the coupling coefficient for two dielectric antennas. The numerical solution is carried out by means of the full-wave analysis of the cascaded dielectric waveguides which represent the antenna. The results are in good agreement with the available experimental data. The radiation patterns are calculated and presented.<>
