Abstract

In many practical applications, non-planar circuit and antenna structures are conformal to cylindrical shapes. These coordinate systems are to be used to analyze applications of microstrip to antennas on curved surface, transition adapters, and baluns. A brief historical development for microstrip on cylindrical geometries is given in this section.
