Electric surface current model for the analysis of microstrip antennas on cylindrical bodies

Analysis of Radiation From a Cylindrical-Rectanguar Microstrip Patch Antenna Loaded With a Supersrate and an Air Gap, Using the Electric Surface Current Model

“…3-5 and Figs. 7-8 of [10] as well as those in Figs. 2 and 4 of [11], by substituting d = c = b in the software used for calculating the radiation patterns and the directivity.…”

“…The MoM has been used in [8,9] also, but for analyzing a cylindrical-rectangular patch antenna loaded with a lossless dielectric superstrate. The analysis of a cylindrical-rectangular microstrip patch antenna using the electric surface current model (ESCM) was first presented in [10,11], with the main emphasis being to calculate the radiation from the antenna. Recently, such an antenna loaded with a lossless dielectric superstrate and fed by a coaxial probe is supposed to have been analyzed in [12] using the ESCM, but no details of the analysis have been given.…”

Input Impedance, VSWR and Return Loss of a Conformal Microstrip Printed Antenna for TM01 mode Using Two Different Substrates

“…In this approach, the field in terms of surface current is calculated, while considering dielectric layer around the cylindrical body. The assumption is only valid if radiation is smaller than stored energy [11]. Kwai et al [12]gave a brief analysis of a thin cylindrical-rectangular microstrip patch antenna which includes resonant frequencies, radiation patterns, input impedances and Q factors.…”

Radiation Patterns Synthesis for a Conformal Dipole Antenna Array

“…In order to obtain the E z field component in the spatial domain, we need to evaluate the k z integral in (4). This is made in approximate way using the stationary phase method [29] (notice that the phase is fastly changing due the term H (2) n (k ρ ρ)e −jkzz ). The resulting expression for E z field component in far field is…”
