In this article, a novel offset microstrip line feed Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna is used for bandwidth enhancement. The parameters such as Bandwidth, Return Loss and Radiation efficiency are improved in the proposed antenna. A comparison is also shown for the proposed feed structure with and without conformal strips. The improvement in the bandwidth is observed from 25% to 65% by optimizing the antenna design parameters. It works in three frequency bands, that is, 2.03-3.69 GHz, 3.86-7.26 GHz, and 7.32-9.26 GHz. The proposed antenna is appropriate for WIMAX/WLAN applications.

A single-point-fed circularly polarized (CP) rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with wide CP bandwidth is presented. By usingTE111andTE113modes of the rectangular DRA, a wideband CP performance is achieved. The coupling slot of the antenna contains a resistor loaded monofilar-spiral-slot and four linear slots. Design concept of the proposed antenna is demonstrated by simulations, and parameter studies are carried out. Prototype of the proposed antenna was fabricated and measured. Good agreement between the simulation and measurement is obtained. The measured impedance bandwidth (|S11|<-10 dB) and 3 dB axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth are 51.4% (1.91–3.23 GHz) and 33.0% (2.15–3.00 GHz), respectively.
