Abstract
The fundamental radiation characteristics of a microstrip antenna on a cylindrical substrate with a thick cover layer is investigated by usi ng a magnetic line source model. Numerical results for the radiation p attern and conductance are presented. It is found that certain combina tions of curvature radius and cover-layer thickness could result in si gnificant distortions in the pattern. Lossy dielectric material may be used to reduce these undesired effects. (C) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, I nc.
