Array gain using the open-circuit voltage method as a function of the electrical separation ( ) between the elements of the nine-dipole planar array for a signal arriving from . Maximum gain is achieved as . The implementation of the open-circuit voltage method yields a degradation in performance between and , where the gain reaches lower magnitudes than those of the uncompensated case.
