Estimación del modelo de acoplamiento en un array de parches mediante la medida del campo radiado

In the design process of array antennas, coupling is one of the most important elements to be counted. The real feeding radiated coefficients can be quite different from the theoretical ones because of this effect. In this paper, a compensation method is presented allowing matching each element from the array. All the parameters which are part of the coupling process are obtained through measurements, and the model to obtain those parameters is presented. An application to linear patch array is presented as an example
