Fundamentals of Electromagnetics with MATLAB

Find the current in one of the dipoles in an antenna array if there is
(a) No mutual coupling between the dipoles.
(b) A mutual coupling between the dipoles.
The driving voltage is $V_{1} = 100 V$ and the distance between the two half-wave dipoles is d = λ/2. Estimate the amplitude and the phase change.
