A novel pattern reconfigurable antenna concept utilizing rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) placed over dielectric substrate backed by a ground plane is presented. A dual strip excitation scheme is utilized and both excitation strips are connected together by means of a 50 Ω microstrip feed network placed over the substrate. The four vertical metallic parasitic strips are placed at corner of DRA each having a corresponding ground pad to provide a short/open circuit between the parasitic strip and antenna ground plane, through which a shift of90°in antenna radiation pattern in elevation plane is achieved. A fractional bandwidth of approximately 40% at center frequency of 1.6 GHz is achieved. The DRA peak realized gain in whole frequency band of operation is found to be above 4 dB. The antenna configuration along with simulation and measured results are presented.

A novel single feed aperture-coupled wideband dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) exhibiting righ-handed circular polarization (RHCP) operating in the Ku-band frequency range is presented. The aperture-coupled single feed design utilizes back-side microstrip excitation through a novel bow-tie-shaped cross-slots in the ground plane. Extensive simulation parametric studies resulted in a 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 17.24% at a center frequency of 13 GHz, where the dielectric resonator is excited in its HEM11δresonant mode. A prototype DRA was fabricated with some limitations and experimentally verified for the impedance matching and radiation patterns showing circular polarization.

This study examines a cuboid dielectric resonator antenna with partial ground plane. The dielectric resonator of the antenna is designed with high permittivity, ɛr=30. The dimension used to design this cuboid dielectric resonator antenna was based on the dielectric waveguide model (DWM). Meanwhile, the feeding structure depends on the microstrip feed line that resides above the FR4 substrate. The significance of this study is to obtain a reconfigurable radiation pattern. Switches were used to operate the two array elements with phased control in order to obtain reconfigurable pattern, by controlling the switches, the results produced three different radiation patterns at 2.6 GHz with total efficiency 88%. Hence, this proposed antenna can be used for Long Term Evolution (LTE) of band 7 and band 38 with an impedance bandwidth of more than 200 MHz. This study was implemented in a CST Microwave Studio.

AbstractIn this paper, a reduced-size dielectric resonator antenna with switchable diversity patterns is proposed. Ring- and linear-shaped slots are etched in the ground plane of the antenna so as to generate two modes $TE_{\delta 11}^x$ and $TE_{\delta 12}^x$ at a center frequency of 19 GHz. Moreover, two groups of PIN diodes are integrated into these slots to short one group of slots, and let the other group generates the required mode. Thus, the antenna is able to generate two switchable patterns with an envelope correlation coefficient of 0.4. Furthermore, the antenna size is reduced to half of its original size by placing a copper sheet over certain plane of the antenna structure. The antenna achieves wide bandwidths of 17.6–20.9 GHz (17.1$\percnt $) and 18.3–21.6 GHz (13.8$\percnt $) in cases of exciting $TE_{\delta 11}^x$ and $TE_{\delta 12}^x$ modes, respectively. The antenna also attainsa high gain of 7.1 and 3.2 dB at the center frequency.

The excitation of the higher-order mode, in rectangular dielectric resonator designed was explored to enhance the antenna gain and detailed elaboration is presented in this paper. The antenna was fed by a 50Ω microstrip line through an aperture cut in the ground plane. Besides avoiding spurious radiation, this feeding technique gives flexibility in controlling the amount of coupling in order to reduce the Q-factor in the higher-order mode RDRA. A design was developed and subsequently simulated using Ansoft HFSS ver 16.0 by utilizing Duroid 5880 dielectric substrate with a thickness (ts) of 0.254 mm, a permittivity (εs) of 2.2 and a loss tangent (δ) of 0.001 at 15 GHz. The higher-order mode, RDRA achieved the measured gain at 9.76 dBi and the measured impedance bandwidth as much 2.5 GHz which is 4.7% more compared to the fundamental mode. The result should be considered suitable for 5G applications.

Also this antenna has an omnidirectional and stable radiation pattern over the whole operating frequency range and a compact size of (15 × 20 × 5.8 mm3) that make it suitable for wideband wireless system applications. This structure is light weight and can be easily fabricated. A prototype is built and measured. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.

Measurement Results

In this paper, a microstrip-fed U-shaped dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is simulated, designed, and fabricated. This antenna, in its simple configuration, operates from 5.45 to 10.8 GHz. To enhance its impedance bandwidth, the ground plane is first modified, which leads to an extended bandwidth from 4 to 10.8 GHz. Then by inserting a rectangular metallic patch inside the U-shaped DRA, the bandwidth is increased more to achieve an operating band from 2.65 to 10.9 GHz. To validate these results, an experimental antenna prototype is fabricated and measured. The obtained measurement results show that the proposed antenna can provide an ultra-wide bandwidth and a symmetric bidirectional radiation patterns. With these features, the proposed antenna is suitable for ultra-wideband applications.
