  • Abstract
    In this paper, one-element and six-element antenna arrays, conformal to electrically large cylinders of finite length, are simulated. When the length of conducting cylinder changes, the proposed antenna maintains stable radiation patterns. Moreover, the proposed antenna array provides end-fire radiation patterns with a high gain and high front-to-back ratio.
