In a Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA), conventionally glue or adhesive is used to fix the ceramic DRA block onto the antenna Ground Plane (GP) made of a metallic sheet. In this work a new compound ground plane has been conceived. This serves as a GP for the DRA as well as a holding structure. This technique replaces the adhesive or glue. The design has been made in such a way that no characteristics and radiation pattern of the antenna are disturbed. A full metallic configuration, suitable for practical purposes has been suggested in this work. The proposed configuration shows expected broadside radiation and ~ 6 dBi gain, with agreeable co-polar to cross-polar isolation. Finally, a prototype has been fabricated and experimentally studied. The measurement results corroborate the simulated data. © 2017 IEEE.

Dielectric resonator antenna: A solution for its mount on metallic body

2017 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium, Proceedings

A resonant mode (HEM 12δ), other than those (HEM 11δ and TM 01δ) conventionally excited and used in a cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) has been examined with a view for using it as another radiating mode with broadside radiation patterns. Excitation of the mode, being the most challenging aspect, has been discussed and resolved by employing an innovative technique. The proposed concept has been successfully verified and experimentally demonstrated for the first time. More than 8-dBi peak gain with excellent broadside radiation has been obtained from a prototype shaped from a commercially available low-loss dielectric material with relative permittivity 10. © 2006 IEEE.
