Design of planar and conformal microstrip patch antenna for avionics applications

Abstract

Microstrip patch antennas have an important role on Communication applications on satellites, aircrafts, missiles and other vehicles comparing to other types of antenna because of their conformability nature. In this paper several EM simulations performed on planar and conformal antenna for avionic applications. The design of the proposed planar antenna configuration is analyzed by using IE3D simulation software, it is MOM (Method of Moments) based and conformal antenna is analyzed by using HFSS simulator which is finite element method.In addition we are achieving circular polarization.
