a Photograph of the fabricated conformal leaky-wave antenna with R = 8 mm. b Experimentally measured radiation pattern (bold blue) compared to the semi-analytical model (bold red) and the finite element method simulation (dashed red) for the conformal antenna with a radius of curvature of 8 mm and c 50. 8 mm. The finite element method simulations show directivities of 14 dB and 18 dB for radii of 8 mm and 50.8 mm, respectively.
