Abstract
A parametric study of finite phased arrays of printed dipoles on electrically large coated cylinders is performed using a spatial domain hybrid MoM/Green's function technique. Dipole currents and several performance metrics like active reflection coefficient and input impedances of the dipoles are calculated and compared with their planar counterparts. The effects of the curvature, dipole orientation and changes in the array and host body parameters are observed and discussed.
