Mutual Coupling Effects Analysis in a Cross-Rhombic Antenna Array

[摘要] We present an analysis of mutual coupling effects on radiation pattern and individual coupling in a conformal array ofcross rhombic antennas. Analysis is made using both full-wave simulation and numerical approaches implemented in Matlab. The array consists of a truncated hexagonal pyramid, with a cross rhombic antenna in each pyramidal face, including the one on the top, having a 7-antennas-array. Results of radiation pattern and S11 parameters are presented, showing mutual coupling effects among the elements.
