Bandwidth Enhancement of Antenna Arrays Utilizing Mutual Coupling between Antenna Elements
The mutual coupling effect between antenna elements on an array's bandwidth is investigated using scattering parameters instead of the mutual impedance. First, an approximate expression is derived for matched voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) bandwidth of a tuned antenna, which reveals that th...
