Default Wanting to examine mutual coupling

Hi all

I'm doing some post-grad work involving antenna arrays.

I would like to compare my simplistic model (perfectly isotropic
ominidirectional dipoles with zero mutual coupling) to a model that
includes coupling effects. This is not the major focus of my thesis,
but it's something I need to do, anyway.

I would basically like to get a handle on what kinds of phase
differences (in degrees) exist between the two models, for certain
frequencies and geometries.

I believe EZNEC may be capable of this (I have the demo)? Any other
recommendations?

If anyone would be kind enough to walk me through an outline of what
I'd need to do in EZNEC, I'd appreciate the help! (I am pretty new to
finite-element EM modelling)

Thanks for any and all replies!

Ryan
