Resonant frequencies in the open microstrip structures placed on curved surfaces

Abstract

The paper presents the research on open microstrip structures placed on curved surfaces such as cylindrical, elliptical or spherical. The numerical analysis of investigated structures is based on expansion of electric and magnetic fields into suitable function series. Utilizing the continuity conditions the boundary problem is formulated which is solved with the use of method of moments. The investigated structures find application in antenna technique for the construction of conformal antennas.
