Curvature effects on radiation characteristics in different planes of (CDRA), the reflection coefficient, the input impedance, The co-polarization and the cross-polarization characteristics, gain of the antenna, are calculated and discussed for different values of ¦Í squareness parameter. Then show effect of changing the aspect ratio B/A on the reflection coefficient and the input impedance. The proposed antennas are numerically investigated using finite element method and the finite integration technique. %K DRA %K CDRA %K FEM %K FIT %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.eee.20120203.01.html
