Abstract :
A model for analysis of the radiation characteristics of cylindrical arrays of microstrip rectangular patches is presented. The model is based on the Green function for the multilayered structure calculated in the Fourier domain. The fields radiated by the array are calculated through an asymptotic expression obtained by the application of the stationary phase method. Radiation characteristics such as the directivity function, the ripple and the crosspolarisation level are discussed for arrays excited in the TM01 mode.
