The far-field pattern characteristics of line sources lying between the slabs of a four-dielectric substrate configuration are presented. The patterns are calculated for several cases of the substrate thickness as well as for several line-source locations. The considerations that are made give useful applications in remote sensing and microstrip antennas.

When circularly polarized (CP) microstrip antennas are bent, the polarization becomes elliptical. We present a simple model that describes the phenomenon. The two linear modes present in a CP patch are modeled separately and added together to produce CP. Bending distorts the almost-spherical equiphase surface of a linearly polarized patch, which leads to phase imbalance in the far-field of a CP patch. The model predicts both the frequency shifting of the axial ratio band as well as the narrowing of the axial ratio beam. Uncontrolled bending is a problem associated especially with flexible textile antennas, and wearable antennas should therefore be designed somewhat conformal.
