Analysis of Circular Polarization of Cylindrically Bent Microstrip Antennas
Figure 6
Equiphase surfaces. (a): The spherical equiphase surface of the flat patch antenna. Semi phase centers coincide. (b): The astigmatic equiphase surface of the E-plane bent patch antenna. (in the -plane) is in front of the antenna, but (in the -plane) is behind it. The astigmatism is exaggerated for clarity.
