An Open-Source Code for the Calculation of the Effects of Mutual Coupling in Arrays of Wires and for the ASM-MBF Method

[摘要] A general description of mutual coupling in finite and infinite antenna arrays isprovided and an open-source code is described for the analysis of mutual couplingin linear arrays of parallel dipoles. The ASM-MBF method is illustrated with thehelp of that code and it is shown that the method also can handle situations whereeigenmodes are supported by the array: single machine precision is achieved withfour Macro Basis Functions only.
