The finite element method and the finite integration technique are used to calculate the radiation characteristics as well as the mutual coupling between the array elements. Mutual coupling reduction is obtained by cutting slots, or inserting quarter wavelength grooves in the surface of the cylindrical ground plane between the antenna elements.
