Abstract :
The mutual coupling between two cylindrical-rectangular microstrip antennas is studied from the application of the generalised transmission line model (GTLM). Theoretical solutions and measured results of both E-plane and H-plane coupling coefficients are presented. The curvature effects on the mutual coupling are discussed
