<p class="Abstract">A rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) has been excited by an off-set single conformal metal strip. By using such excitation technique two degenerate resonant modes, TExδ11 and TEy1δ1 of the rectangular DRA have been excited to achieve circular polarization (CP). A CP bandwidth of ~ 5.2% in conjunction with a wide impedance matching bandwidth of ~ 54% has been provided by the proposed DRA configuration. The antenna design has been simulated using computer simulation technology (CST). Antenna prototype has been built to verify the impedance matching bandwidth. Far field parameters have been optimized and verified using two simulation techniques in CST i.e. finite integration technique (FIT) and finite element method (FEM). A good agreement between the simulated and measured result has been observed for S11. Similarly a very good resemblance between the far field results from FIT and FEM have been demonstrated.</p>

In this paper, a new dual-band circularly polarized (CP) dielectric resonator antenna for WLAN and WiMAX applications is proposed. The dielectric resonator has an asymmetric Y-shaped geometry. By properly selecting the length of the arms, the pairs of fundamental (TE 111 ) and second-order (TE 211 ) are excited separately at the design frequencies to radiate the CP wave. The measurement shows that the fabricated antenna exhibits a wide impedance bandwidth for |S 11 | < −10 dB of 62.07% (2.2–4.18 GHz). The far-field measurements in the broadside direction demonstrated a dual-band CP response with 3 dB ARBWs of 4.92%(2.38–2.5 GHz) at the lower and 12.64% (3.26–3.70 GHz) at the upper band. The measured CP bands cover the entire frequency range of WLAN (2.401–2.495 GHz) and WiMAX (3.4–3.69 GHz) at the lower and upper bands, respectively.

The paper presents a triband circular polarized rectangular dielectric resonator antenna. A single coaxial cable feeds the DRA to a double stub strip on the DRA side. A patch strip coupled to the feed assists in widening the bandwidth of the proposed DRA. The degenerate mode pair TE∂11x and higher-TE∂23x has been excited to achieve CP and enhance the antenna gain. The higher-order mode has been excited using a low-cost simple excitation mechanism without compromising on the size and shape of the DRA. An impedance bandwidth of 48% with a gain ~6–9 dBic was achieved in all resonance frequencies. Additionally, the AR bandwidth of 5.5%, 4.2%, and 2.76% was obtained at three different frequencies. Note that the proposed DRA exhibits a wide beamwidth of 112o, which is good for better signal reception. A comparison between the measured with simulated results shows that the measured results are matched by the simulated result trends.

In this work a novel miniaturized frequency reconfigurable Dielectric Resonator antenna using Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) surface is proposed. The prototype is set to work for 5G mid-band frequencies and Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications. The work consists of two parts: firstly, the miniaturization of the prototype using AMC surface and secondly using the same AMC surface to reconfigure the frequency to another wireless application. Using AMC surface, the DR volume is reduced by 85% percent. Connecting the AMC unit cells through ideal switches (micro-trip slabs) re-configures the DR for different frequency. The overall performance observed before switching as well as after switching in both the cases is promising. The design is fabricated for performance analysis. A close agreement is reported between simulated and measured values of the reflection coefficients, radiation pattern, gain and efficiencies. The prototype has stable radiation pattern for both the operating frequencies. The impedance bandwidth values for both the resonance frequencies are 14.2% and 16% respectively. The prototype has a maximum gain of 6.8dBi and a maximum efficiency of 88%.

A dual-band circularly polarized (CP) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) designed on multi-layer substrates is proposed. An asymmetric C-shaped metallic strip is also incorporated into the upper side of the top substrate in the proposed design. The hexagonal dielectric resonator (DR) is excited by the proposed 3-D meandered probe, which generates multiple orthogonal TE-modes. It is found that the lower CP band arises due to the pair of fundamental modes of the hexagonal DR. In the upper CP band, pairs of higher broadside and even modes of the hexagonal DR are combined with a CP band that is induced by the asymmetric C-shaped metallic strip to yield a wide 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW). A prototype of the proposed DRA is fabricated for experimental verification. The antenna exhibits a measured −10 dB reflection bandwidth of 56.43% (2.15–3.84 GHz). The far-field measurement shows measured 3 dB ARBWs of 7.56% (2.29–2.47 GHz) with a peak gain of 5.6 dBic and 16.47% (3.12–3.68 GHz) with a peak gain of 7.84 dBic in the lower and upper bands, respectively.

A compact, cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA), using radio frequency signals to identify different liquids is proposed in this paper. The proposed CDRA sensor is excited by a rectangular slot through a 3-mm-wide microstrip line. The rectangular slot has been used to excite the CDRA for H E M 11 mode at 5.25 GHz. Circuit model values (capacitance, inductance, resistance and transformer ratios) of the proposed CDRA are derived to show the true behaviour of the system. The proposed CDRA acts as a sensor due to the fact that different liquids have different dielectric permittivities and, hence, will be having different resonance frequencies. Two different types of CDRA sensors are designed and experimentally validated with four different liquids (Isopropyl, ethanol, methanol and water).
