AbstractSmartdielectric resonator antenna (DRA) having beam control mechanism is anew area to be explored by antenna researchers. Proposed new geometry DRA has low loss, design flexibility, high efficiency, compact size and desired radiated beam control. Developing beam control in new geometry DRAs is investigated for the first time in this letter. Unique technique for beam control and beam width control is proposed using pit top and mount top DRA. Gain is controlled from 5.0 to 9.98 dBi and beam is controlled from ±30° to ±70° in broadside radiation pattern. U shape pit DRA has maximum directive gain of 9.98 dBi and efficiency 98% at 5.8 GHz frequency. Measured and simulated results of radiation pattern and reflection coefficient are found to be in close proximity. Hardware of U shape pit top DRA, mount top DRA, left side arc top DRA, right side arc shape top DRA is developed and investigated. Mobile and cellular communication network need wide coverage, hence large beam width is required. Narrowing of beam width at higher order mode is also achieved.

The measurements were made in Feb. 1982 with the Parkes 64 m telescope using a corrugated waveguide horn with total half-power beam width of 15′, the first sidelobes being 19 dB down, resulting in an aperture efficiency ηA=0.53±0.007, a main beam efficiency of ηmb=0.80±0.005 and a ratio of source flux to antenna temperature of Γ=0.62±0.1 K/Jy (Murray, priv. comm.). A cooled two channel FET frontend used in the frequency switching mode with Δν = 2 MHz resulted in a system noise temperature at zenith of Tsyst = 40 K for one channel and Tsyst = 50 K for the other. Each frontend channel received a single polarization mode, and this radiation was then further analysed in a 2 × 512 channel autocorrelation spectrometer set at a channel separation of 3.906 KHz corresponding to a velocity resolution of V = 0.824 km s−1. Hanning smoothed this resulted in a σT = 0.05 K for the average of both polarization.
