This dissertation describes an iterative self-calibration technique for a Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) array to automatically remove the effects of mutual coupling and near-zone resonant size scatterers. The Inverse Method of Moments (IMM) is also introduced to determine the normalized Method of Moments (MM) impedance matrix and MM voltage vector for a Uniform Linear Array (ULA) given its terminal currents produced by plane waves from known directions. The IMM can be combined with an iterative technique to determine the array DOA angles with mutual coupling effects removed.
