Abstract
Radiation patterns of rectangular microstrip patches arranged circumferentially on a circular cylinder have been computed. Both the axial patches and circumferential patches have been used. It has been found that the number of circumferential patches required for a given ripple in gain pattern is considerably less, thus simplifying the feed network. Comparison with experimental measurements shows good agreement.
