Abstract
The program for calculating radiation properties of spherical and cylindrical rectangular microstrip patch antenna is presented. The patch can be embedded in or placed on a general multilayer spherical or circular-cylindrical structure. The solution procedure takes advantage of spectral-domain approach and the spherical/ cylindrical multilayer structure is rigorously taken into account by calculating appropriate spectral-domain Green's functions. The results show the importance of rigorous analysis of curved patch antennas.
