In this paper, a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. Here three rectangular dielectric resonators are used as stepped manner. The DRA is excited by microstrip line which is an effective feed mechanism to obtain better radiation. In this design, rectangular shape was used as the dielectric resonator as it offers more option to cont...

In this paper, a wideband Sierpinski carpet patterned cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) operating in the X-Band is proposed. This DRA is realized from low cost Teflon. An impedance bandwidth of 50% is obtained covering the entire X-band with similar radiation pattern throughout the band. The average peak gain within the band is about 5.5 dBi.

Abstract—A comparative study using numerical models on the mutual coupling (MC) between two different heterogeneous beam steering dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) and an omni-directional dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented in this paper. The mutual coupling was investigated by varying the separation between the antennas and manipulating the far field radiation pattern of each an...

In this paper, we study a Dielectric Resonator Antenna of cylindrical shape with circular polarization for applications in the C band. The proposed antenna is composed of two different layers. The first is Polyflon Polyguide with relative permittivity εr1 = 2.32 and a loss tangent tanδ = 0.002 as a lower layer. The second is Rogers RO3010 with relative permittivity εr2 = 10.2 and a loss tangent...

This paper outlines a new polarization reconfigurable EBG (Electromagnetic Band Gap) antenna in the 60 GHz millimeter waves band. The proposed hybrid antenna is composed of a multilayer pyramidal DRA (Dielectric Resonator Antenna) exciting source covered with a FSS (frequency Selective Surface) superstrate. The device can switch between circular and linear polarization by a simple 45 ̊ mechanica...

This paper presents an efficient approach for exciting a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) in the terahertz frequencies by means of a graphene plasmonic dipole. Design and analysis are performed in two steps. First, the propagation properties of hybrid plasmonic onedimensional and two-dimensional structures are obtained by using transfer matrix theory and the finite-element method. The couplin...
