Abstract :
In the case of an open-circuited microstrip antenna wrapped around a conducting cylinder and acting at a half-wavelength resonance, we studied the influence on the pattern coverage of various parameters, such as the dielectric constant of the substrate and cylinder diameter related to the wavelength. Some contradictions with another recent paper appear and are explained.
