L-strip-fed Wideband Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna

In this paper, the advantages of using L-shaped microviij) feed to e.tcite a rectangular dielectric resonator cuuenna (DRA) by elemanagnetic coupling are presented. This feeding technique enhances the hardsvidth and gain of the antenna without affecting its size. The experimental re srdts are validated using Fidelity software based on the finitedifference tine-domain (FDTD) method

Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna on a Conductor-backed Co-planar

In this paper, we present an effective excitation of a reelangular dielectric resonator antennas (DRA) with a conductor-hacked coplanar waveguide (CB-CPW). The radiation and resonance characteristics are found to van,, depending on the orientation of the DR on doe coplanar feed line. The effect of finite and infinite ground planes of CB-CPIV on the radiation characteristics of the rectangular DRA is studied. The orientation and position of the DR are optimized for maximum gain and bandwidth. The optimized antenna ,geometry offers --10.46 dBi gain and 7.5% bandwidth with low cross-polar radiation characteristics

Novel Wide Band Printed Dipole Antenna

Design, development and experimental observations of a L: band printed dipole antenna is presented.Bandwidth enhancement is achieved by end-loading or the dipole arms. Using the present technique Impedance bandwidth van be enhanced up to 50% without degrading the efficiency of the antenna.

An Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Flange Angle on Radiation Patterns of V-Slot Waveguide Antenna

Results of exhaustive study of the effect of metallic flanges on H-plane radiation characteristics of V-slot waveguide antenna are presented . It has been established that the beam can be sharpened or broadened by varying the flange angle . The adjustment of the flange angle and flange width would further improve the radiation pattern , yielding optimum efficiency from the flanged system

A Strip-Loaded Feed-Horn antenna

Design and development of a new feed -horn antenna with low sidelobe levels is reported . The E-walls of this antenna are fabricated with low -loss dielectric substrate , periodically loaded with thin conducting strips .
