Abstract
In this paper, the comprehensive study of the conformal microstrip printed antenna is presented. The main advantages and drawbacks of a microstrip conformal antenna are introduced. The earlier researches in cylindrical rectangular patch and conformal microstrip array are summarized. The effect of curvature on the conformal Microstrip antenna patch on conical and spherical surfaces is studied. Some new flexible antenna is given for different frequencies. Finally, simulation software is used to study the effect of the curvature on the input impedance, return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, and resonance frequency.
