Abstract :
A novel efficient iterative method for solution of large systems of linear equations in analyzing large antenna arrays is proposed. Either the whole array or only a few elements of it can be solved. This method is designed according to the characteristics of the effects of mutual couplings in antenna arrays and has great time-saving. Examples of small arrays are presented to illustrate the good convergence of the algorithm
