Abstract :
The perturbations in mutual coupling due to finiteness of a dipole array and its ground plane have been studied. Experimental procedures were evolved to measure these perturbations and their influence on antenna performance as a function of beam position. Data for one- and two-dimensional dipole arrays are presented and interpreted, particularly with reference to edge effects.
