Abstract :
We deal with the full-wave analysis of microstrip antennas on cylindrical substrates, in edge-fed (monolithic) and EMC configurations. We employ the electric field integral equation-method of moment (EFIE-MoM) approach in the spectral domain, and subsectional basis functions that allow the description of patches and feed systems of general form. The spectral asymptotic behavior is extracted, increasing the overall efficiency.
