Dual band dielectric resonator antenna for wireless application

The proposed technique is an integration of a slot antenna and a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). This is designed without compromising miniaturisation and efficiency. It is observed that the integration of slot and dielectric structure itself may be merged to achieve extremely wide bandwidth over which the antenna polarisation and radiation pattern are preserved. Here the effect of slot size on the radiation performance of the DRA is studied. The antenna structure is simulated using the CST software. The simulated results are presented and compared with the measured result. This DRA has a gain of 7.1 and 6.3?dBi at 5.7 and 8.1?GHz, respectively, its 10?dB return impedance bandwidth of nearly 4.5% and 5.5% at two resonating frequencies. A total of 98% efficiency has been achieved from the configuration. It is shown that the size of the slot can significantly affect the radiation properties of the DRA and there are good agreements between simulation and measured results.

An X-band dielectric resonator antenna using a single elliptical shaped dielectric resonator

This paper presents design evolution of a single elliptical dielectric resonator antenna to achieve wide measured impedance band-width extending from 8.26 GHz to 12.15 GHz. Design evolved from a right circular cylindrical DRA by varying the dimension along the semi-minor axis and thereby resulting in an elliptical DRA that supports near similar field distribution over the X-band. This similar field variation is achieved by tuning the eccentricity of the elliptical geometry, the feed position as well as height of the DRA. A fabricated prototype is developed and measured results agree well with that obtained from simulation. Apart from wide impedance bandwidth, the observed pattern bandwidth is also similar.

In this communication, a dielectric resonator based dual-port radiator is designed. Loading of meta-surface over the dual-port antenna creates two important features that make it unique to the proposed design: (i) conversion of the linear polarized plane waves into circularly polarized plane wave (ii) improve the isolation between the antenna port by more than 30 dB.

A wideband high gain dielectric resonator antenna for RF energy harvesting application

A novel high gain and broadband hybrid dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is designed and experimentally validated. To obtain the wide impedance bandwidth, the proposed antenna geometry combines the dielectric resonator antenna and an underlying slot with a narrow rectangular notch, which effectively broadens the impedance bandwidth by merging the resonances of the slot and DRA. An inverted T-shaped feed line is used to excite both antennas, simultaneously. It supports amalgamation of different resonant modes of the both, DRA and slot antenna. The measured results show that the proposed antenna offers an impedance bandwidth of 120% from 1.67 to 6.7 GHz. The antenna gain is next enhanced by a reflector placed below the antenna at an optimum distance. On engineering the height and dimension of this reflector the antenna gain is improved from 2.2 dBi to 8.7 dBi at 1.7 GHz. Finally, antenna operation is attested experimentally with a rectifier circuit in the frequency range of 1.8–3.6 GHz, where various strong radio signals are freely available for RF energy harvesting. The measured maximum efficiency of the rectifier and rectenna circuit were found to be 74.4% and 61.4%, respectively.     

Improvement of the stopband spurious window for a dual-mode dielectric resonator filter by new coupling technique

This paper presents a new design technique for two configurations of a dual-mode filter using a dielectric loaded cavity operating at 1.95 GHz. The dielectric puck in the proposed filter was floated in the middle of a cylindrical metal cavity with short circuits on the side walls and holes through the ceramic from the side face. These holes allowed the insertion of coupling probes which did not affect the unloaded quality factor or the spurious window. The inline structure fourth pole Chebyshev dual mode filter offers a 870 MHz suppression window while the planar configuration was 710 MHz from the resonance frequency and the operation bandwidth of 54 MHz. The volume reduction ratio was eight times larger compared with a coaxial filter of the same Q factor.     

Frequency notched wide slot antenna for UWB/2.4 GHz WLAN applications

A compact frequency notched microstrip slot antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) /2.4 GHz-band wireless local area network (WLAN) applications is proposed. The antenna is similar to a conventional microstrip slot antenna; however, by introducing a cross wide slot and a meandered-slotted stub, both compact size and frequency notched function can be achieved. It has been studied both numerically and experi- mentally for its impedance bandwidth, surface current distribution, radiation patterns, and gain. As will be seen, an operation bandwidth of over 4.61 ranging from 2.39 to 11.25 GHz for return loss lower than having a frequency notched band ranging from 4.75 to 5.85 GHz has been achieved, and good radiation performance over the entire frequency range has also been achieved.

A circular monopole antenna for bandwidth enhancement using cylinder slots with triple band notch characteristics

This article introduces a super wideband along with three notch bands circular patch monopole antenna. The design structure is applicable for microwave and high-speed wireless devices (2.19 to 25 GHz). In order to create a broad band, a ring dimension circular patch is used. To generate three notch bands, six symmetrical tiny cylinder stubs are introduced on the ground. These notch band frequencies can eliminate unwanted interference from various wireless frequencies, which mainly cover three notch bands: 5.5–7.3, 12.05–14.46, and 17.71–19.5 GHz. The steady radiation, super bandwidth, and stable gain properties expand when the ring patch and line feed are combined. It is excellent for many UWB applications because of its compact size (39 × 29 mm ²) and large bandwidth (166.97% fractional bandwidth). This model employs various size reduction and matching approaches to get a better response. The mechanisms of these structures are identified, and overall performance is compared with parametric analysis, tables, and figure.     

Miniature high gain slot-fed rectangular dielectric resonator antenna for IoT RF energy harvesting

Radio-frequency (RF) energy harvesting is a promising candidate for alternative power source that can reduce the dependencies on batteries. However, its power density is very low which makes it crucial to have a high gain antenna to increase the power received by the system. This study presents the design of miniature high gain dielectric resonator antenna for RF energy harvesting application with high figure of merit to increase the power received. Numerical approximation is used to assist the antenna design and modelling. The design focused on three parameters which are the width, length, and height of the dielectric resonator. The performance, electric field density, and the radiation patterns of the dielectric resonator antenna have been observed by varying the design parameters. The effect of air gap to the performance is investigated and it is found that 8.11–13% gain improvement and up to 36% improvement in impedance matching is achieved through incorporating thin air gap between the dielectric resonator. Soda-lime glass with relative permittivity 7.75 is used which allows miniaturization and transparency. Experimental results show reasonable agreement to the simulations. The work shows highest antenna gain with smallest size with high FOM at 5 GHz ISM band compared to previous works.     

Effective modeling of metasurface-loaded circularly polarized dielectric resonator-based MIMO antenna for sub-6.0-GHz band using machine learning algorithms

In this article, a dual-port dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is modeled using machine learning (ML) algorithms, that is, deep neural network (DNN), random forest, and XGBoost. The unique properties of the proposed article are as follows: (i) Two different diversity techniques, that is, pattern (with the help of metallic wall) and polarization (mirror image of the aperture), improve the isolation value between the ports; (ii) ML algorithms are used to optimize and predict the reflection coefficient as well as mutual coupling of the proposed antenna. The accuracy of ML algorithms is verified by using the HFSS EM simulator and experimental validation. Error is less than 1%–2% between the value predicted from ML algorithms and HFSS/experimental results. The proposed design is working well in between 2.4 and 4.02 GHz with a 3-dB axial ratio from 2.84 to 2.95 GHz. All these features make the radiator employable to the sub-6.0-GHz frequency band.
