Abstract(in English) In this paper, a method for reducing an unwanted coupling between feed lines of array antennas is presented. When patch antennas and feed lines are arranged in same plane, these lines sometime approach due to small spaces. In this case, an undesired coupling between feed lines happens, so a radiation pattern characteristic of the array antenna deteriorates. We propose a method that feed lines are arranged so that the undesired coupling is canceled with other coupling between feed lines. The proposed method is simulated and experimentally demonstrated. The undesired coupling is reduced about 20dB in the simulation, and we confirmed an effectivity of the proposed method.
