A Modal Description of Multiport Antennas

This paper presents a modal description of multiport antennas that leads directly to a rigorous network representation and simple quadratic expressions for gain, efficiency, and effective area. The analysis shows that the transmitting and receiving properties of an 𝑁 element antenna array are exactl...
