Interfernce analysis for co-located antennas

How to simulate radiation patterns for two or more antennas in the same plot? Can interference/mutual coupling between antennas be done using antenna toolbox?

[Da Huang]

if you have your multiple antenna in the same antenna toolbox object, like conformal Array, then the interference/mutual couping between the element are considered in antenna toolbox analysis.

Hi Vaishnavi,

If you want to plot the radiation patterns of two or more antennas together, you can place them in a single Antenna Toolbox array object, such as a conformalArray, and then visualize the radiation pattern of the array.

Mutual coupling and interference effects between the elements are automatically considered in the antenna analysis when multiple elements are present. This allows the computed radiation pattern to reflect the interaction between the antenna elements.

You can refer to the following :

One Dimensional: linearArray - Create linear antenna array - MATLAB

Two Dimensional: rectangularArray - Create rectangular antenna array - MATLAB

Arbitary Positions: conformalArray - Create conformal array - MATLAB

Mutual Coupling - MATLAB & Simulink
