Abstract

Abstract Specifically, this article describes the following: The specific considerations that must be given to the performance of basic slot and microstrip or patch antenna elements when mounted on nonplanar conducting surfaces A selected number of conformal antennas: for example, microstrip conformal antennas and dielectric‐filled edge slot (DFES) antennas A class of wraparound antennas and antenna arrays Cylindrical and spherical phased arrays used for omnidirectional and hemispherical coverage, respectively.
