Formulation of Envelope Correlation Coefficient for Multiple Sensors Based on Scattering Parameter

The Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) is crucial for assessing multiple sensor systems in wireless communication, sensing, and microwave imaging. ECC measures signal similarity between sensors, with higher values (close to 1.00) indicating strong correlation. Efficient power transmission, reception, and multiband path transmission enhance sensor network performance by improving data rates and reliability through multiple frequency bands. This study uses scattering parameters to calculate ECC for four different sensors in a single arrangement. Most of the sensors exhibit higher correlation at f2 and f3, while f1 shows a low ECC.
