چکیده
As the important case of conformal arrays, conformal arrays on cylindrical surfaces have been widely used in radar and communication systems. This paper explores the chances of designing conformal reflectarray on cylindrical platform. An extended array theory method is proposed in this paper for analyzing the radiation patterns of cylindrical conformal reflectarray. The radiation characteristics of conformal reflectarray on convex and concave cylindrical surfaces are studied, and the performances of the two cases are compared with planar cases. It is shown that the cylindrical conformal reflectarray can be a good candidate of high gain antennas for applications where a slightly curved conformal platform is available.

متن کاملA New Implementation of Frequency Selective Surface Cloak for Cylindrical Structures
The main purpose of this paper is to design, implement and measure a new sample of mantle cloak. A new method called mantle cloak is introduced by cloaking an object by a single, conformal meta-surface which can drastically suppress the scattering of the desired object. In this paper, a grid lattice is placed around a dielectric object as the cloaking structure. Previously, this FSS has been ut...

Spherical microphone arrays have been paid increasing attention for their ability to locate a sound source with arbitrary incident angle in three-dimensional space. Low-frequency sound sources are usually located by using spherical near-field acoustic holography. The reconstruction surface and holography surface are conformal surfaces in the conventional sound field transformation based on gene...
