Abstract
A moment method analysis of an infinite array of wraparound microstrip antennas fed with idealized current probes on a cylindrical body is presented. The integral equation is formulated through the use of periodic grounded dielectric slab Green´s function. The method accounts for the blind angles and allows efficient computation of the reflection coefficient at all other angles. Illustrative results are given
