A cavity-backed spiral antenna with ultra-wide band width is presented. By using a parabolic reflector, the radiation of the antenna becomes uni-directional, and the gain is promoted. The antenna is fed by a coaxial cut-away balun with fan-shaped patch which keeps a wideband impedance matching. The simulated bandwidth for VSWR < 2 covers 0.36 ~ 6.83GHz or bandwidth ratio of 19:1, and the gain a...

The Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) is one of the efficient radiator which is used to achieve broadband and cost effective communication in wireless technology. The Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology is the most assuring structure for implementation of circuits and components for millimeter wave and microwave applications. A design approach to improve the impedance bandwidth of ...
