Abstract :
Design considerations for microstrip antennas on cylindrical sector structures are presented. Differences between cylindrical sector, closed cylindrical and also planar structures are shown. For this, the structures are characterized by mutual coupling effects and directive properties. The analyzed structures consist of one or two single elements. A short classification is given for which kind of cylindrical sector structures the used analysis method is suited.
