Abstract
An efficient approach for calculating the far field pattern of conformal phased array antennas mounted on cylindrical-shaped platforms is proposed. The array structure is taken into account by using an active element pattern technique, and the array is analyzed by using an element-by-element approach. The effects of all mutual couplings in the array environments are considered rigorously, and the efficiency of the proposed method is validated by using the commercial full-wave simulation software HFSS. Finally, a low side-lobe cylindrical phased array is designed for engineering by optimizing phases and amplitudes of port excitations.
