This article presents numerical investigation of the E-plane arc antenna array of vibrator radiators as an example of nonplanar and non-rectilinear array which parameters are influenced by mutual coupling. The simulation results are shown in charts. They include dependences of active and reactive part of the impedance and E-plane radiation pattern from different parameters caused by mutual coupling in antenna array.References
