Abstract
Design relationships for computer simulation of radiation patterns of conformal antenna arrays are derived. Results of the comparative analysis of radiation patterns of arrays with spherical, hemispherical, and disk-shaped apertures in which the radiators consist of three electric dipoles and three magnetic dipoles (E3M3) are presented. It is shown that application of E3M3 radiators with proper orientation of their axes in conformal antenna arrays can increase the directive gain in the main lobe.
