In this paper, a simple conical-shaped dielectric resonator antenna operating in HEM11δmode is presented for X-band wireless applications. A rectangular slot with a running microstrip line is used for excitation purpose. By placing a FR-4 based superstrate at 7 mm height from the ground FR-4 substrate and incorporating a set of modified ground plane on either side of the feed line, gain is improved by 42.85% and bandwidth by 68.92%, simultaneously. A prototype of designed antenna is fabricated and characterized. The measured results are found to be good in matching with the simulated ones.

A dual frequency Dielectric Resonator antenna for wireless communication applications in the S and C bands with an operating frequency of 2.65GHz and 4.62GHz is presented. The patch is a dielectric material with a high dielectric constant value of 20. A 50Ω strip line is considered as feed and is coupled to the dielectric radiator via the rectangular slot etched in ground plane. The slot etched in ground plane is made so as to facilitate the power form the feed line to the radiator. The overall dimension of the antenna is 100mm×35mm×0.8mm. A dual frequency antenna has been proposed which will be operational at the frequencies of 2.65GHz and 4.62GHz with a gain of 4.42dB and 7.78dB respectively. Low cost FR4 material is been used as the laminate base for the antenna which will act as the dielectric material.

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

This paper proposes a novel wideband circularly polarized (CP) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) loaded with strips. The CP DRA comprises a circular DR, two pairs of driven L-like DR strips with different lengths, and a square ground-plane. To couple the electromagnetic energy to circular DR, an orthogonal cross-slot is used, and a stepped microstrip-line is also used to adjust the impedance matching. Influenced by the concept of deformed DR, two pairs of L-like DR strips of different lengths are inserted into the circular DR as part of the driven element to excite a new axial ratio (AR) resonant point. An antenna prototype is simulated, manufactured, and measured to validate the unique design. The measured results show that the designed antenna has broadband characteristic with a −10 dB IBW of 54% (1.91–3.32 GHz) and 3 dB ARBW of 42.1% (2.10–3.22 GHz).

Abstract A new wideband omni-directional compact rectangular ring dielectric resonator antenna (RRDRA) fused with slotted bevel shaped patch antenna is presented for the ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The RRDR (rectangular ring dielectric resonator) is employed to generate lower order radiating modes with merge with the modes of patch to obtain high impedance bandwidth in UWB region. Further, RRDR use led to reduction in overall conductor loss to achieve high radiation efficiency. The proposed RRDRA structure achieved an impedance bandwidth covering the frequency range from 2.6–15.6 GHz, or ∼142%. The measured results show that the proposed DRA provides peak measured gain of 6.2 dBi and radiation efficiency of 90% at resonant frequency 6.3 GHz with stable omni-directional monopole like radiation patterns with low cross-polarization. The proposed antenna has a short ground plane of size 40 × 40 × 11.6 mm3 or ∼0.34λ 0 × 0.34λ 0 × 0.10λ 0 at 2.6 GHz.

A wide-slot antenna is investigated to achieve a bandwidth of about 162%. The ground plane includes a rectangular slot with dual SRR and two semicircular defects in the bottom side of the rectangular slot. A fork like feed-line with two parasitic stubs to increase the bandwidth is used to feed the slot. 37*37*0.8 mm3 is the size of the proposed antenna and the dielectric substrate used is FR4. The measured bandwidth ranges from 1.8-17.5 GHz which is approximately 162%. Significant improvement in gain for the frequency range of 1.8-6.1 GHz is observed. The proposed antenna has radiation patterns that are stable and omnidirectional in both E and H planes in all the six frequency points for entire frequency range. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.  


DRA’s are used for 5G communications of large bandwidth at sub 6GHz and millimeter to Terahertz. The channel capacity can achieve a very high data rate i.e. C=Blog2(1+SNR) where C is the channel capacity and B is the bandwidth of the channel. The cylindrical resonator antenna operating in hybrid HEM11⸹ mode. In this paper a cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna(CDRA) with frequency range (2-6GHz).The cylindrical dielectric resonator with radius r=10mm and height h=10mm. the CDRA material is alumina ceramic with a permittivity of εDRA is 9.9 and the resonant frequency is fr=4GHz. The substrate will be is Rogers RT 5880 with εr=2.2 and tan⸹=0.0009, the thickness is 1.52mm. The CDRA is excited about the microstrip line. so the cdra is coupled electromagnetically by this microstrip line and below the substrate, we have a ground plane with annealed alumina so we have no radiation or low below the substrate all the radiation is top of the CDRA. The proposed antenna is simulated using CST microwave studio software and the designed antenna will operate for 5G applications and we can consider massive MIMO antenna array configurations. This design analyses the parameters of CDRA.

A compact, cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA), using radio frequency signals to identify different liquids is proposed in this paper. The proposed CDRA sensor is excited by a rectangular slot through a 3-mm-wide microstrip line. The rectangular slot has been used to excite the CDRA for H E M 11 mode at 5.25 GHz. Circuit model values (capacitance, inductance, resistance and transformer ratios) of the proposed CDRA are derived to show the true behaviour of the system. The proposed CDRA acts as a sensor due to the fact that different liquids have different dielectric permittivities and, hence, will be having different resonance frequencies. Two different types of CDRA sensors are designed and experimentally validated with four different liquids (Isopropyl, ethanol, methanol and water).
