Conformal Antenna- how to take a microstrip patch antenna

Conformal Antenna

Hello,

Me and my partner are trying to design a conformal antenna but so far it has been hard to find a paper that walk us thru the process. Conformal antennas is a new topic for me and that is why I need all the help I can get.
How would you take a normal microstrip patch antenna array to a conformal antenna array?
We were also thinking on putting a square patch on each face of a 3D triangle or a cube.

Thank youu

Hi ice.deepcold

you can use LCP substrates for you microstrip antenna and I think you can use the conformal antenna design and analysis book. There is a Bsc student thesis in Queenland university that is about your idea

I hope it'll be helpfull
