Compact Polarization Diversity Dielectric Resonator Antenna Array for WLAN Application

This paper presents the study on a compact polarization diversity antenna array consisting of two orthogonally placed hybrid dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) elements. A prototype antenna array for IEEE802.11a WLAN application is designed and measured. Over 20 dB isolation and 18% input impedance bandwidth is achieved while symmetrical and unidirectional radiation patterns are maintained over...

Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna Array for 28GHz Applications

In this paper, a Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) with a modified feeding line is designed and investigated at 28GHz. The modified feed line is designed to excite the DR with relative permittivity of 10 which contributes to a wide bandwidth operation. The proposed single RDRA has been fabricated and mounted on a RT/Duroid 5880 (εr = 2.2 and tanδ = 0.0009) substrate. The optimized...

Wideband Monopole/dielectric Resonator Antenna - a Review

Several wideband antennas are presented for either wireless application. This paper presents the performance of a simple monopole antenna loaded with an annular dielectric resonator as a wideband transmitting/receiving antenna. By adjusting the length of the monopole and load arm, a 10-dB bandwidth of 94% is achieved while maintaining monopole-like radiation pattern, which covers UWB applicatio...

Design of Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna Fed by Dielectric Image Line with a Finite Ground Plane

A Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) fed by Dielectric Image Line (DIL) through a narrow slot placed on a finite ground plane is numerically investigated. The effects of ground plane size on the radiation performance of the antenna are analyzed. To increase the antenna gain, four sidewalls are placed around the corners of the ground. Also, a reflector is placed at the back side of ...
