Optimal radiation pattern synthesis of mutually coupled antenna array using an efficient compensation method
Abstract An efficient compensation method is proposed for the reduction of mutual coupling among the elements of an antenna array using the optimum current amplitude excitation weights. The performance of an antenna array degrades heavily due to mutual coupling. The mutual coupling effect can neithe...

| description | Abstract An efficient compensation method is proposed for the reduction of mutual coupling among the elements of an antenna array using the optimum current amplitude excitation weights. The performance of an antenna array degrades heavily due to mutual coupling. The mutual coupling effect can neither be eliminated nor be ignored in the context of the antenna array design. Several analytical and numerical techniques have been proposed in the past few decades for the calculation and compensation of mutual coupling effect. Here, the mutual coupling is compensated by reducing the driving impedance of each identical array element in the array by adopting grey wolf optimization and moth flame optimization algorithms, respectively. The sum of the driving impedances of each element of the antenna array is reduced efficiently by adjusting the feed current amplitudes of all the individual array elements. Compared to the existing known methods, the proposed method is less complex, cost‐effective and easy to implement for commercial and industrial applications to achieve better performance. |
