International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / Conformal printed antennas of arbitrary shape are used for telemetry applications on
high velocity vehicles due to their small size and light weight. The design of these
antennas is difficult, however, since there are few accurate analytical models that take
the effects of curvature into account. This paper discusses a computer aided design
(CAD) tool for arbitrarily shaped printed antennas on cylindrical structures based on a
rigorous analytical model. The tool is combined with a graphical user interface and
can help antenna designers achieve close to optimal performance. An overview of the
mathematical model is given here and the CAD tool is used to highlight the effects of
curvature on printed antenna performance. Methods of obtaining circular polarization
are reviewed.
