S₁₁ and S₂₁ measurements of the 8-channel monopole array with (left) and without (right) ICE decoupling method loaded with human head. Without decoupling treatments, mean S₂₁ between adjacent, next adjacent and opposite elements of the monopole array was about −7.1, −11.5 and −15.6 dB, respectively, whereas the mean S₂₁ between adjacent, next adjacent and opposite elements were reduced to −25.4, −25.1 and −40.3 dB, respectively, when the ICE decoupling method was employed. This indicates the coupling between any two monopole elements was reduced to a sufficient small value using the ICE decoupling method
