Resonance in a cylindrical wraparound microstrip structure with superstrate

Analysis of the resonance problem of a cylindrical wraparound microstrip structure with superstrate is presented. In this study the rigorous full-wave formulation and Galerkin's method are used. The numerical convergence for the selected sinusoidal basis functions with edge singularity is also discussed. Numerical results of the superstrate loading effects on the real and imaginary parts of complex resonant frequency of the structure as a radiator at TE/sub 01/ mode and as a resonator at HE/sub 10/ mode are calculated and analyzed.<
