Abstract :
This paper describes a technique known as discrete mode matching, which is suitable for the full-wave simulation of conformal microstrip structures. This contribution presents the theory behind this method, along with the analysis of microstrip lines and antennas conformed on cylindrical surfaces. The results have been compared with data obtained using other techniques and good agreement has been verified.
