A probe‐fed superstrate‐loaded rectangular microstrip antenna mounted on a cylindrical body is investigated by using a full‐wave analysis and a moment‐method calculation. Numerical results for the input impedance are calculated and the numerical convergence of the moment‐method calculation is also shown. Variations of the input impedance with the superstrate thickness and curvature radius are presented and discussed. Both the HE 01 and HE 10 modes are studied. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
