Monolithic conformai microstrip patch antenna

Abstract

The accurate analysis of the antenna performance is very difficult with the complex structure of the conformai antenna, and the conformai finite difference time domain(FDTD) method is one of the effective methods. A millimeter wave monolithic microstrip antenna, formed on the surface of conical surface using the conformal FDTD algorithm, is introduced, which design of rectangular microstrip patch cell by using the conventional microstrip feed mode. The simulation results indicate that the antenna gain is 7dB and can use multiple slices form the conformal array antenna.
