Abstract
An X-band conformal array antenna designed for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles with polarimetric radars/sensors is presented. The array antennas mounted on the cylinder with various curvature radii are experimentally studied. The array can be easily placed on the aircraft fuselage or payload due to its ultra-thin and ultra-lightweight characteristics. It should have potential applications in radar surveillance, remote sensing, and wireless communications.
