Abstract :
This paper presents a comparison of microstrip and cavity-backed cylindrical wraparound antennas. The antennas are analyzed using method of moments, and results of radiation patterns and input impedance are compared to each other, and to results from a commercial software. The effects of the cavity-backed confinement and of surface waves of the microstrip antenna are evaluated.
