Abstract
The popularity of microstrip antenna arrays has risen in recent times because of their durable structure, being lightweight and cost-effective, yet still delivering impressive performance across a range of uses [1]. And Conformal antennas have many added advantages compared to traditional planar antennas like Flexibility of Design, Improved Aerodynamics, Improved Stealth, Increased Radiation Efficiency etc.. The performance evaluation of a conformal patch array antenna on a cylindrical surface involves the assessment of various parameters such as the radiation pattern, impedance bandwidth, cross-polarization, gain, efficiency, and power handling capacity [2]. In this paper we evaluated the performance of the Microstrip Array Antenna by comparing the Gain, Return Loss and the Radiation pattern with Microstrip Antenna. The dimensions of the antenna were calculated then the antenna was built and simulated using the HFSS software, a finite element method.
