Abstract

Development of cylindrical microstrip antennas for small rockets is the focus of the present work. Rectangular-patch and wraparound irradiators will be considered. The effects of the cylindrical curvature on the antenna input impedance and radiation pattern will be analyzed. Prototypes will be manufactured and tested in telemetry frequencies for space vehicles.(AU)
