Conformal planar dipole antenna

Abstract:

Systems and methods for a conformal planar dipole antenna is described herein. In one example, the antenna can include a first dipole layer, a second dipole layer, a microstrip layer, and a ground plane. The first dipole layer can include a first antenna element. The second dipole layer can include a second antenna element. The microstrip layer can include a microstrip. The first antenna element, the second antenna element, and the microstrip can be electrically coupled to each other.
