In an antenna array, the element pattern correlation and the array matching depend on each other. For lossless two‐element arrays, the general formulation of the dependency of array matching on pattern correlation is given and solved numerically for some basic cases. Array matching is given as a characteristic mismatch coefficient and as the mean relative reflected power. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
