TABLE 1.
S11 (reflection coefficient) and S21 (coupling coefficient) between the adjacent elements of the 8-channel dipole antenna, the 8-channel loop, and the 16-channel LD antenna arrays in dB scale. Note that none of the arrays have any additional decoupling circuitry and consequently show relative higher coupling coefficient values
