Abstract
The method of the frequency-independent compensation of the strongest mutual coupling (between the neighbor elements only) in a linear array antenna is suggested and studied. It is shown that in the suggested method both the scheme and the parameters of a decoupling multiport network do not depend on properties of the array elements as well as on frequency. An example of a seven-element array is considered.
