Curved metasurfaces enable conformal and flexible antenna solutions but introduce challenges absent in planar designs. These include optimal surface reactance synthesis, mechanical flexibility of dielectric and metallization layers, RF integration on curved geometries, and complex experimental characterization. This paper addresses each of these aspects, providing design, fabrication, and validation methodologies for curved metasurface structures.
