Abstract :
This work (this work was partially supported by FACEPE and CNPq) perform a full-wave analysis, using method of moments, to determine the mutual impedances of spherical microstrip patches. The patches are allowed a more general shape, following the spherical coordinates, as shown in Fig. 1. The effect of moving the patches (keeping the average widths) toward the z-axis will be discussed on both input impedance and mutual impedance of the patches.
