Abstract :
Our work has demonstrated that the Fourier decomposition method to predict mutual coupling between elements in a strongly-coupled array is effective and accurate. In principle, this method is applicable to any type of elements in a large array where the edge effects can be ignored. Further research will be conducted toward developing interpolation method of ARC over phase shift U and V to reduce the total simulation time.
