Estimation of Mutual Coupling in Finite Array of Dipoles

Abstract

Mathematical modeling of the mutual coupling in finite phased array of dipoles with complex shape reflector is developed. The complete set of equations of the mathematical model is formulated as Pocklington integral equation for dipoles current distributions and integral equation of II kind for the scattering field of reflector. Offered compact form of the mathematical model as the set of the functional matrix equations includes special iterative procedure for obtaining the required accuracy and stability of the numerical solution.
