A study of mutual coupling effects in finite microstrip arrays : final report / by L. Shafai, O. Aboul-Atta, A. Bhattacharyya, D.L. Lai.: Co24-3/1-SP86-005E-PDF

"In this report the mathematical formulation of mutual coupling between elements of a microchip array is provided. The generated models are used to investigate both the impedance and the array radiation patterns. The computed array patterns indicate that, generally, the mutual coupling reduces the array gain, but has a small effect on the sidelobe levels. The problem was also studied numerically for coupling between two patch arrays and reported in the program report. It indicated that the mutual coupling increases with beam scan and becomes considerable when the array beam approaches the array plane"--Summary, page 1.
