Concept and Applications of Receiving Mutual Impedance

  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:
Handbook of Antenna Technologies

Abstract

The concept of receiving mutual impedance is introduced through derivation from a method of moments (MoM) analysis. The theoretical and experimental methods for the determination of the receiving mutual impedance are given and illustrated with typical examples of dipole and monopole antenna arrays. The fundamental difference, namely, the truly isolated state between the receiving mutual impedance and the conventional mutual impedance, is explained. Typical examples for the application of the receiving mutual impedance are given to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of using this concept. These examples include applications in direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, in interferences suppression, in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phased-array design, and in multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems.
