The cylindrical geometry can offer certain desirable antenna characteristics that are not provided by planar elements. In this paper a conformal omnidirectional circular disc antenna which is mounted on a cylindrical surface feeding by a microstrip line is presented and proven to operate equally well compared to its planar rival. The return losses and the radiation pattern characteristics of the proposed antenna are studied using the commercially available electromagnetic software CST studio suiteTM , and high frequency structure simulator HFSS. Compared with the planar shape and the cylindrical conformal antenna existing, the proposed structure possesses an important wideband which is needed for many wearable electronics applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
