Abstract :
A theoretical study of mutual coupling between microstrip antennas is presented. The cavity method is used, and from the equivalence theorem application the problem is reduced to interaction of two magnetic loops. The mutual impedance is then calculated from the reaction theorem. Theoretical results and measurements are in good agreement.
