Error model and its corresponding pre-distortion calibration method for trans-mitting array are presented in this paper. According to the characteristics of transmitting array, element-pattern-based and synthesized-beam-based methods are proposed to calculate mutual coupling matrix in transmitting mode. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of present methods. The second method shows better performances than the first one for the case where the transmitting noises exist in the channels.
