Modeling the effect of mutual influence of microstrip elements of the VHF band

The effect of mutual influence of antenna elements can have a significant impact on the characteristics of complex, sensitive systems. This effect changes the shape of the radiation patterns (DP) of the antenna elements, changes their active resistance, which complicates the matching of the impedances of the antenna arrays (AR). In areas with stringent requirements, mutual influence can have a very significant impact on system performance. In particular, they are capable of influencing the results of digital algorithms for estimating the angular coordinates of radio sources with super-resolution. A study of the mutual influence of microstrip antennas in the VHF range was carried out.
