Abstract :
Summary form only given. Since a lot of low loss and often used dielectric substrates exhibit a dielectric anisotropy, (especially of the uniaxial type), it is thus important to study the patch antennas printed on them. Moreover, the anisotropy offer an additional degree of freedom, which can be properly exploited to increase the efficiency and the gain of the antenna. Thus, the aim of this work is to study the resonance characteristics of rectangular and wraparound antennas as well as wide microstrip lines printed on anisotropic cylindrical substrate. Results for the resonant frequency of both rectangular and wraparound patches are presented, along with a comparison with the corresponding results from numerical simulations performed with the HP-HFSS finite element software
