Abstract :
The recently proposed modified method of auxiliary sources (MMAS) is applied to the analysis of conformal microstrip patch arrays. The aim of the technique is to improve the accuracy or/and the computational complexity of standard numerical methods. The radiation patterns are compared to reference data, showing excellent agreement.
