A new general formulation for the entire-domain analysis of an array of arbitrarily oriented circular loop antennas

Abstract

A general formulation for the entire-domain analysis of arbitrarily oriented coupled circular loops was discussed for the first time. The Eulerian angles were used to unambiguously define the orientation of each loop with respect to another. The current coefficients were used to directly obtain the input impedance and radiation characteristics of a coupled loop array. The results highlight the necessity for the general formulation presented for correctly and conveniently analyzing all the various possible orientations in coupled circular loop arrays.
