Abstract
The effect of curvature on mutual coupling between microstrip antennas on curved surfaces is studied by using the conformal FDTD method. The method has shown excellent versatility. The method is also applied to antennas mounted on flat and orthogonal substrates for comparison. The results show the strong effect of the different shaped substrates on the mutual coupling.
