An efficient method for investigation of compact coaxial loop-arrays

A method is described which makes it possible to investigate compact coaxial loop arrays with considerable ease. Unlike the previously available methods, the efficiency of the present method does not deteriorate by the reduction of the axial separation of the array elements. Some computed results are presented for the case of a 14-element planar array with difference loop separations. Only the smallest loop is excited and for the selected dimensions the loop currents decrease rapidly within the first three loops, but remain relatively constant in the remaining elements.
