A broadband differential-fed dual-polarized hollow cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is proposed in this article. It makes use of the HEM111, HEM113, and HEM115 modes of the cylindrical hollow DRA. The proposed DRA is simply fed by two pairs of conducting strips and each pair of strips is provided with the out-of-phase signals. After introducing four disconnected air holes into the DRA, a broadband characteristic is achieved, with little effect on the antenna gain of its higher-order modes. To verify this idea, frosted K9-glass is applied to fabricate the hollow cylindrical DRA. The differential S-parameters, radiation patterns, and antenna gain of the DRA are studied. It is found that the proposed differential-fed dual-polarized DRA is able to provide a broad differential impedance bandwidth of ~68% and a high differential-port isolation better than ~46 dB. Moreover, symmetrical broadside radiation patterns are observed across the whole operating band. The proposed DRA covers the frequency bands including the 5G-n77 (3.4–4.2 GHz), 5G-n79 (4.4–5.0 GHz), WLAN-5.2 GHz (5.15–5.35 GHz), and WLAN-5.8 GHz (5.725–5.825 GHz), which can be used for 5G communications.

In this paper, a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with high gain and wide impedance bandwidth for fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication applications is proposed. The dielectric resonator antenna is designed to operate at higher-order T E δ 15 x mode to achieve high antenna gain, while a hollow cylinder at the center of the DRA is introduced to improve bandwidth by reducing the quality factor. The DRA is excited by a 50   Ω microstrip line with a narrow aperture slot. The reflection coefficient, antenna gain, and radiation pattern of the proposed DRAs are analyzed using the commercially available full-wave electromagnetic simulation tool CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS). In order to verify the simulation results, the proposed antenna structures were fabricated and experimentally validated. Measured results of the fabricated prototypes show a 10-dB return loss impedance bandwidth of 10.7% (14.3–15.9GHz) and 16.1% (14.1–16.5 GHz) for DRA1 and DRA2, respectively, at the operating frequency of 15 GHz. The results show that the designed antenna structure can be used in the Internet of things (IoT) for device-to-device (D2D) communication in 5G systems.

AbstractA new single-fed circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna (CP-DRA) without beam squint is presented. The DRA comprises an S-shaped dielectric resonator (SDR) with a metalized edge and two rectangular dielectric resonators (RDRs) blocks. Horizontal extension section is applied as an extension of the SDR, and a vertical-section is placed in parallel to the metallic edge. A vertical coaxial probe is used to excite the SDR and the vertical RDR blocks through an S-shaped metal element and a small rectangular metal strip. The two added RDRs that form an L-shaped DR improve the radiation characteristics and compensate for the beam squint errors. A wideband CP performance is achieved due to the excitation of several orthogonal modes such as $$TE_{\delta 11}^x$$ T E δ 11 x , $$TE_{1\delta 1}^y$$ T E 1 δ 1 y , $$TE_{121}^z$$ T E 121 z , $$TE_{112}^y$$ T E 112 y , $$TE_{131}^x$$ T E 131 x , and $$TE_{311}^y$$ T E 311 y . The experimental results demonstrate an impedance bandwidth of approximately $$66.8\%$$ 66.8 % (3.71–7.45 GHz) and a 3-dB axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth of about $$54.8\%$$ 54.8 % (3.72–6.53 GHz) with a stable broadside beam achieving a measured peak gain of about $$4.64 \, {\text{dBic}}$$ 4.64 dBic . Furthermore, a 100% correction in beam squint value from $$\theta = 41^\circ$$ θ = 41 ∘ to $$\theta = 0^\circ$$ θ = 0 ∘ with respect to the antenna boresight is achieved.

Design of a Dual-Band Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) for the radio-frequency identification (RFID) and wireless local area network (WLAN) is presented. The necessity of a compact sized dual-band antenna is to allow the manufacturers to produce small size high-performance WLAN access points. The proposed antenna consists of printed T-Shaped monopole antenna and rectangular dielectric resonator to operate simultaneously at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. The monopole antenna was printed on a standard 1.6 mm FR4 substrate material. Impedance bandwidth for -10 dB return loss in the 2.35 GHz and 5.86 GHz center frequency reaches 0.25 GHz (2.22 GHz to 2.47 GHz) and 0.28 GHz (5.72 GHz to 6 GHz), respectively. A good agreement is achieved between measured and simulated results.  This compact antenna fed by a 50 Ω microstrip line is a low-profile and easy to manufacture antenna.

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.
