摘要
A new definition of mutual impedance for two dipole antennas is introduced to characterize the mutual coupling effect between two dipole antennas in a more accurate manner. The calculation method and the measurement procedure for the new mutual impedance are given. Measurement and theoretical results on two monopole antennas were obtained as an example. The successful applications of the new mutual impedance in the compensation of mutual coupling effect in direction finding and adaptive interference suppression with significantly improved results showed the importance of the new mutual impedance.
