	abstract = {An analytical method to synthesize shaped-beam patterns with planar arrays, based on the handling of spherical waves, is proposed. Translational Addition Theorems will be used here for two different purposes: (1) relating the spherical modes produced by each element in the array to calculate the mutual coupling effects, and (2) expressing the field radiated by each element in terms of spherical modes corresponding to the whole array, to carry out a spherical-wave synthesis procedure based on the orthogonal properties of spherical modes. This field synthesis method is based on the fact that any antenna radiated field can be expressed as a discrete series of weighted spherical vector wave functions and it only requires the a priori knowledge of the Generalized Scattering Matrix of each array element considered as isolated from the rest of the array elements.},

	abstract = {This paper presents a pattern synthesis technique for arbitrary planar arrays which can be characterized in terms of a generalized-scattering-matrix (GSM) and whose radiated field can be expressed as a spherical mode expansion (SME). The procedure yields the complex-valued excitations needed to achieve a pattern which fulfils the requirements of different sidelobe levels in different regions and several prescribed field nulls with a maximum directive gain. The formulation is based on matrix-valued functions which are computed from the GSM and the SME, so all interelement coupling effects coming from complex radiating structures used as array elements are inherently taken into account. To solve the resulting nonlinear optimization problem, a primal-dual interior-point filtering method specifically adapted to this formulation is developed. Numerical results are presented for arrays of microstrip patch antennas and dielectric resonator antennas.},

	abstract = {This letter presents a flexible method to compensate the interelement mutual coupling (MC) effects that may degrade the field pattern of an array of real and coupled antennas. A closed-expression for a mutual coupling compensation matrix (MCCM) is derived. The MCCM is used to compensate the presence of the real individual elements{\textquoteright} patterns and the interelement MC effects for any excitations obtained with an isotropic-based pattern synthesis method. The MCCM is calculated from the generalized scattering matrix (GSM) of an antenna array and the spherical mode expansion (SME) of its radiated field. For a given array, this MCCM has to be calculated only once since it only depends on the radiating and scattering characteristics of the antenna elements as well as on their location in the array. Conditions regarding null field pattern directions can also be reinforced in the MCCM. To compute the GSM of the array and the SME of the radiated field, a validated full-wave hybrid and modular methodology is used. Numerical results of synthesized patterns where the MC effects have been compensated are presented for arrays made up of dielectric resonator antennas.},
