A reciprocity approach for calculating the far-field radiation patterns of a center-fed helical microstrip antenna mounted on a dielectric-coated circular cylinder.

A reciprocity approach for calculating the far-field radiation patterns of a center-fed helical microstrip antenna mounted on a dielectric-coated circular cylinder.

This paper presents an efficient approach based on reciprocity for calculating the far-field radiation pattern of a center-fed helical microstrip antenna mounted on a circular cylinder. The reciprocity theorem is used to find a completely analytical solution to the problem assuming that the helical...
