Abstract
In the present study design and development of the conformal microstrip antenna array is demonstrated. Important system parameters and overall performance of the Array antenna is described and experimental results for reflection coefficients and far field patterns is included as well as simulated pattern and synthesis results. To improve the performance of microstrip antenna array, a modified configuration of microstrip series-fed taper array is designed. Compared to the traditional one, the novel antenna array has a better VSWR characteristic. The design procedure of the conformal antenna array is discussed and some valuable results are acquired. Numerical results are obtained and a very good agreement is observed between experimental and simulated results of such arrays.
