“…In [20] the patch was no longer limited to a quasi-rectangular shape, and the input impedance was obtained from moment method and attachment modes. Antenna analyses in multilayered spherical media are presented in [21][22][23][24][25]. Curvilinear Rao-Wilton-Glisson triangular basis functions were also used in [26,27] for modelling antennas in spherical layered media.…”

This study presents a full‐wave analysis of quasi‐trapezoidal microstrip spherical patches and arrays. It uses method of moments to evaluate the effect of the shape of the patches on the input impedance, bandwidth, mutual impedance, and radiation pattern. Arrays of quasi‐trapezoidal patches are also analysed. Presents a procedure for avoiding numerical problems on evaluating combinations of Schelkunoff Bessel functions. Results are compared with previously published ones for the quasi‐rectangular case for validation.

A three dimensional integrated microstrip antenna (3DIMA) is a novel multifunctional structure, which can perform as a load bearing structure and function as an antenna. In this study, a single-element and a double-element microstrip antenna were integrated into cylindrical three-dimensional woven glass fiber/epoxy composites respectively. Their electromagnetic performance and impact damage were investigated. The results showed that with the decrease of the curvature radii from 75 to 25 mm, the single-element 3DIMAs with the feed direction perpendicular to the curvature showed more stable resonant frequencies and gain values than those of 3DIMAs with the feed direction parallel to the curvature. While the opposite results were observed for the double-element 3DIMAs. The doubleelement cylindrical 3DIMAs with the feed direction parallel to the curvature showed the best voltage standing wave ratios (VSWR < 1.25), resonant frequencies (near 1.5 GHz), gains (from 2.37 to 1.44 dB) and reasonable radiation pattern properties. In addition, impact tests were conducted with the impact energies ranging from 0 to 20 J. The results showed that the VSWRs slightly changed, demonstrating good impact resistance, and structural integrity of cylindrical 3DIMA structure. POLYM. COMPOS., 00:000-000, 2017.
