Abstract:
A comprehensive study of the conformal microstrip printed antenna is presented. The main advantages and drawbacks of a microstrip conformal antenna are discussed. The paper discusses both conformal microstrip arrays. The effect of curvature on the conformal microstrip antenna patch on conical and spherical surfaces is studied. New flexible antenna designs are given for different frequencies . Finally, simulation studies are carried out to study the effect of the curvature on the input impedance, return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, and resonance frequency.
