Design of CPW fed non-planar triple band antenna

Abstract

In this paper, design and performance of a compact non planar triple band antenna suitable for application on surface of missiles and satellites as well as in wearable and wireless communication systems is proposed. This antenna is designed on Rogers RO 3003 substrate and for its feeding Coplanar Waveguide feed arrangement is applied. Antenna structure is conformed on a hypothetical cylinder of 60 mm radius. Optimization in terms of dimensions of patch and ground plane and curvature of the surface has been done to realize the desired performance in terms of bandwidth and gain.
