ATTENUATING THE MUTUAL INFLUENCE OF ELEMENTS OF HF SCANNING CIRCULAR ANTENNA ARRAYS
The results of the development and research of scanning circular antenna arrays for HF radio communication systems are presented. A method for attenuating the mutual coupling of array elements is proposed and tested. It is based on correcting the phase distribution of currents in the elements, enabling to eliminate the appearance of negative active input resistance of the elements and to effectively solve the problem of their matching with the feeders.
