Abstract :
A theoretical analysis of microstrip antennas on conical conducting surfaces is presented. The resonant frequency, input impedance, radiation pattern, quality factor, and efficiency are obtained for a general geometry. Numerical results for a patch antenna with a cone angle θ0=33.88° operating in the fundamental TM01 mode are shown
