Abstract :
Rectangular, circular and ring microstrip antennas on cylindrical, spherical or conical surfaces have been studied by many authors. However, in these studies, only open circuit, half-wavelength, conventional microstrip antenna geometries have been considered. In this paper, non-planar shorted and partially shorted double C-patch antennas [Sanad, 1995] with and without parasitic elements have been studied experimentally.
