Abstract: Radiation, reception and scattering by 1-dimensional antennas was described recently. Arrays of two 1-dimensional antennas with various excitations and loads are analyzed both as radiating antennas and receiving antennas. Antenna parameters computed include: mutual coupling impedance matrix, mutual coupling scattering matrix, element efficiency, element radiation patterns and directivities, array radiation patterns and directivities, element receiver cross-section and received power, scattering and scattered power, complete (local and radiation ports) scattering matrix.
