Study of Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antennas Conforming a Multilayer Circular Cylinder

In this paper we present a moment method program for analyzing arrays of cylindrical-rectangular patches. The patches can be located inside or at the surface of a multilayer circular cylinder, and can be arbitrarily oriented. The antenna structure is rigorously taken into account by using proper Green's functions and the array is analyzed by using element-by-element approach where all mutual couplings are taken into account. The Green's functions and the elements of the moment method matrix are computed in the spectral domain, i.e. a two-dimensional Fourier transformation is applied to fields and currents. Calculated results are validated with measurements on an experimental model.
