Compensation for the Effects of Mutual Coupling on Direct Data Domain Adaptive Algorithms

Raviraj S. Adve, Member, IEEE and Tapan Kumar Sarkar Fellow, IEEE

Page 86.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the effects of mutual coupling between the elements of an array on direct data domain algorithms. Mutual coupling severely undermines the interference suppression capabilities of direct data domain algorithms. The method of moments (MoM) is used to evaluate the mutual coupling between the elements of a given array. The MoM admittance matrix is then used to eliminate the effects of mutual coupling.
