In this paper, a wideband two-segmented four-element triangular dielectric resonator antenna (TDRA) with coaxial probe feed has been proposed. The proposed antenna has been analyzed, optimized, and studied through Ansoft HFSS simulation software. The prototype of the proposed antenna has been fabricated and its input characteristics are measured with the help of R&S Vector Network Analyzer. Good agreement has been obtained between simulated and measured results. The proposed design has been compared with two segments TDRA and found wider bandwidth with lower resonant frequency. The proposed antenna provides monopole-like radiation pattern over the entire bandwidth with nearly 33% bandwidth (return loss ≥10 dB) at a resonant frequency 6.9 GHz and 4.93 dBi peak gain. The proposed antenna is suitable for application of C-band microwave frequencies.

A wideband four element triangular dielectric resonator antenna (TDRA) has been designed and fabricated by using 50 Ω coaxial probe feed. The input and radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna have been extracted through Ansoft HFSS and CST Microwave Studio simulation software and compared with the experimental results. The simulated results have been in good agreement with the experimental results. The proposed antenna characteristics have also been compared with the same dimensions of the single element TDRA, and found enhancement in bandwidth with lower resonant frequency. Its performance has also been compared with same area (equal to proposed antenna) of single element TDRA. The proposed antenna provides nearly 37% bandwidth (|S11| < −10 dB) at a resonant frequency of 5.45 GHz with 4.76 dBi peak gain. The symmetry and uniformity in the radiation patterns is obtained consistently for the entire operating bandwidth. The proposed antenna shows consistently symmetric monopole type radiation pattern with low cross polarization for WLAN (IEEE 802.16) and WiMAX applications. The performance of the proposed antenna has been compared with some similar type of dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) shapes and it has been observed that TDRA is taking very less radiation area for giving better performance than other DRA shapes.

The aim of the paper is to propose a design and analysis of multi-element multi-segment triangular dielectric resonator antenna (MEMS TDRA) with Radar Cross-Section (RCS). The proposed antenna has been excited through coaxial probe feed. The coaxial probe feed excites TM[Formula: see text] dominant mode fields within the TDR elements. A general guideline for wide bandwidth and high gain has been prepared for designing of MEMS TDRA. The model of the proposed MEMS TDRA has been studied through simulation (Ansoft HFSS software) and fabricated for measurement. The simulated antenna performance has good agreement with the measured one. The proposed MEMS TDRA performance has been compared with some similar type of previously published structure and found wider bandwidth and higher gain. The proposed MEMS TDRA provides monopole-like radiation pattern with nearly 39% bandwidth ([Formula: see text] dB). The average gain of 6.0 dBi has been found over the entire bandwidth. The RCS analysis has been performed for monostatic and bistatic modes at different frequencies and angles. The proposed antenna is appropriate for WLAN and WiMAX applications.

The-hybrid dielectric resonator antenna consisted of a cylindrical high-permittivity dielectric resonator, a rectangular slot, and two-rectangular patches were implemented. The hybrid dielectric resonator antenna had three resonant frequencies. The lower, middle, and higher resonant frequencies were associated with the rectangular slot, rectangular patches, and dielectric resonator, respectively. Parametric investigation was carried out using simulation software. The proposed hybrid dielectric resonator antenna had good agreement between the simulation results and the measurement results. The hybrid dielectric resonator antenna was implemented successfully for application in 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz of WLAN and 2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz of WiMAX simultaneously.

The measured characteristics in C/X bands, including material properties of a dual segment cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) fabricated from glass-ceramic material based on B2O3–La2O3–MgO glass and La(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 ceramic, are reported. The sintering characteristic of the ceramic in presence of glass is determined from contact angle measurement and DTA. The return loss and input impedance versus frequency characteristics and radiation patterns of CDRA at its resonant frequency of 6.31 GHz are studied. The measured results for resonant frequency and return loss bandwidth of the CDRA are also compared with corresponding theoretical ones.

AbstractIn this article, a tri-sector cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (t-CDRA) has been introduced by splitting CDRA into three uniform sectors and all three uniform sectors are packed together in a compact way on a metallic ground plane. A coaxial probe feed is used to excite the proposed composite t-CDRA at the center position. Multi-segmentation approach has been applied for further improvement in bandwidth of proposed t-CDRA. The proposed composite t-CDRA has been designed using HFSS simulation software and analyzed using theoretical analysis. The prototype of t-CDRA, three elements t-CDRA and three elements dual segment t-CDRA has been fabricated for measurement. The input characteristics, near field, far field distribution of the proposed t-CDRAs have been studied through HFSS simulation software and their results are compared with corresponding experimental results. Proposed segmented t-CDRA has wide impedance bandwidth (|S

In this paper we are presenting the validation of the LG RF Simulation tool (WAVE) and HFSS simulation software’s through measurement results of the fabricated design, simulated in WAVE and HFSS simulation software’s. A 2 x 2 antenna array with Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure in the ground plane is simulated using WAVE and HFSS ver. 17.The prototype antenna was fabricated and characterization is carried out at CHRIST (Deemed to be University) Bangalore to know the performance of the antenna array. Return Loss and VSWR of the fabricated antenna are measured using Anritsu S820E Microwave Site Master Network Analyzer. Two - dimensional radiation patterns were plotted and compared with the simulated results obtained from WAVE and HFSS Software’s. From the results of HFSS simulation software we observed that EBG integrated array is exhibitinggainof7.089dB and Return loss of -16.2 dBat2.4GHz.Whereas the results obtained from WAVE simulation tool for the same design gave a peak gain of 5.03 dB and return loss of -12.8dB at 2.4 GHz.

A new broadband and high gain dielectric resonator antenna for millimeter wave is presented. The investigated antenna configuration consists of a periodic square ring frequency selective surfaces on a superstrate, an aperture-coupled scheme feed, an intermediate substrate, and a cylindrical dielectric resonator. This antenna is designed to cover the ISM frequency band at 60 GHz (57 GHz–64 GHz). It was numerically designed using CST microwave Studio simulation software package. Another prototype with a plain dielectric superstrate is also studied for comparison purposes. A bandwidth of 13.56% at the centered frequency of 61.34 GHz and a gain of 11 dB over the entire ISM band have been achieved. A maximum gain of 14.26 dB is obtained at 60 GHz. This is an enhancement of 9 dB compared to a single DRA. HFSS is used to validate our antenna designs. Good agreement between the results of the two softwares is obtained. With these performances, these antennas promise to be useful in the design of future wireless underground communication systems operating in the unlicensed 60 GHz frequency band.

AbstractIn this paper, a Coaxial probe-fed Laterally placed Cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna (LCDRA) with symmetrical triangular notches is presented. The lateral surface of the Cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna (CDRA) is kept on the ground plane with its longitudinal axis parallel to the ground plane. LCDRA has a lower resonant frequency than the CDRA and it offers considerably wider impedance bandwidth than CDRA. Finally, two symmetrical triangular notches are introduced on the two edges of LCDRA which is perpendicular to the axis to further improve the impedance bandwidth. The proposed antenna offers a wide impedance bandwidth (
