Abstract-Conformability helps microstrip antenna to mount on any geometry platform and can also be used for multiple frequency systems without any complexity. The designing of a frequency reconfigurable antenna conformal to cylindrical surface using the combination of metamaterial (MTM) and substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is proposed. The single and dual antenna models resonate at various frequencies of C-band by means of changing the cylindrical curvature. The results also show a considerable improvement in bandwidth and gain for dual antennas as compared to the single antenna. The antenna parameters are simulated on HFSS tool, and validation process is done by experimental setup.

“…In a resonance gain method [8][9][10], layers of dielectric are stacked above the patch. For a three-layer electromagnetically (EM) coupled structure, an air layer is often used between a substrate and a superstrate [11,12].…”

“…Many broadband and gain enhancement techniques for microstrip antennas have been reported [13,14], and to overcome the disadvantage of low gain, some papers have proposed gain enhancement methods using multiple superstrates [15,16]. However, the presence of superstrates above an antenna may adversely affect the antenna's basic performance characteristics, such as gain, radiation resistance, and efficiency.…”

“…The addition of high refractive surface at a suitable distance from the radiating patch has been reported for antenna radiation efficiency and enhancement of the antenna gain in [8]. Rather than this, this configuration using high refractive surface called superstrate will protect the MSAs from hazards caused by environment, when the MSAs are proposed for satellite, aircraft, missiles and other exterior communication [9].…”

A multi-functional microstrip compact antenna capable of steering the main beam to eight different directions in the elevation plane is conferred in this study. The compact antenna consists of a driven patch of to bring in the resonance to , for achieving enormous application in european radar service under Wi-MAX band. The conductive layer on the superstrate deflect the beam with an angle corresponding to the position of superstrate on parasitic layer, without considering complex phase shifters and associated circuits. Proper alignment of superstrate results maximum scanning angle of with of deflection angle. The directivity of the antenna is enhanced by manipulating the parameters of the superstrate. The gain of the antenna was improved up to and the efficiency is improved up to using engineered superstrate. The full-wave simulation as well as analytical study was done using the IE3D EM simulator.
