Abstract

The mutual coupling between groundplane slots in aperture-coupled patch antennas on cylindrical structures is calculated using a moment method in the Fourier domain. By separating the three-dimensional (3D) problem into a spectrum of two-dimensional (2D) problems an efficient calculation of the admittance is possible. To increase the accuracy in the mutual admittance calculation, an asymptotic extraction technique is used. Several cases of antenna geometry are investigated and comparison is made to measurements. The method used allows for efficient and accurate analysis of dual polarized aperture-coupled patches placed on general cylindrical structures, as in the case of base-station antenna arrays for mobile communications.
