Broadband liquid antenna

A new class of reconfigurable antenna based on monopole structures containing liquid dielectrics is presented. It was determined that the operating principle of this class of antenna is essentially that of a dielectric resonator, where salt (in solution) modifies the dielectric properties. The resonator column height determined the operating frequency, allowing match and frequency of operation to be fully tunable over 1-2.5 GHz while salinity mainly influences the bandwidth.     

Ultra wideband monopole/dielectric resonator antenna

A hybrid antenna is presented, consisting of an annular dielectric resonator antenna combined with a quarter-wave monopole to simultaneously act as a radiator and a loading element, producing an ultra wideband response. A prototype antenna is designed and a 3:1 bandwidth is demonstrated.     

Small eletric monopole mode dielectric resonator antenna

A novel dielectric resonator (DR) antenna is reported. The lowest order mode of the proposed antenna radiates like an electric monopole. The dimensions of the antenna are much smaller than a previously reported structure radiating in a similar mode, e.g. for an antenna fabricated out of ε_r=20 material, the diameter and height of the DR are ~0.08 λ₀ each     

Combination dielectric resonator, power combiner, and antenna

A rectangular dielectric resonator housed in a cutoff parallel-plate waveguide is used both as a radiating element and microwave power combiner. The resonator is excited by using tuned electrically short monopole antennas to induce a longitudinal electric operating mode. The resonator is then used in conjunction with free-running oscillators in order to provide, via mutual injection locking, stable in-phase power combining. Furthermore, the resonator is arranged such that one of its faces radiates a portion of the power-combined signal. Since the resonator is housed in a cutoff waveguide, the cross-polarization radiation from the antenna is suppressed. It was found that, for a single element, a gain in the azimuthal plane of 5 dB could be achieved and, for a two-element array, a gain of 7 dB was obtained with better than -25-dB cross polarization for each case. The oscillator power-combining efficiency for a single-element antenna (two oscillators) was 91%, and the spatial power-combining efficiency for a two-element antenna array, (four oscillators) was found to be 90%. In addition, it is shown that the presence of the dielectric inserts in conjunction with coupled oscillator dynamics provides moderate overall oscillator phase noise improvement     

Broadband Dielectric Resonator Antenna With Metal Coating

A broadband dielectric resonator (DR) antenna is proposed, which consists of a rectangular DR coated with metal on three sides and placed on a ground plane. The structure is analyzed by modelling the dielectric-air interface as perfect magnetic conductor (PMC). A coplanar waveguide (CPW) with terminating slots is used to feed the antenna. Measurement results exhibit a wide bandwidth of about 47% over which the E_thetas pattern on the horizontal plane is nearly omnidirectional. The 10-dB bandwidth of this broadband DR monopole covers 4.2-6.8 GHz. Hence, it can be used for WLAN 802.11a applications

Numerical and experimental results are presented for an antenna configuration of 1/23.4 wavelength in diameter (ka ˜ 0.134). The antenna is tuned to 50 Ω without any matching network, and its efficiency is measured to be 17.5%.

Stacked annular ring dielectric resonator antenna excited byaxi-symmetric coaxial probe

A stacked annular ring dielectric resonator (DR) antenna composed of commercially available dielectric resonators and exited by axi-symmetric coaxial probe is studied computationally using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The numerical results are checked against experimental measurements, and good agreement is observed. It is demonstrated that the introduction of air-gaps between the two DR's and also between the driven DR and the ground plane can improve the impedance bandwidth of the antenna significantly. The effects of the air-gaps thickness on the return loss and the bandwidth are discussed. The far-fields are also calculated by applying the electromagnetic field equivalence principle. The antenna produces an end-fire radiation field similar to that of an electric monopole

A Transmission Line Method to Compute the Far-Field Radiation of Arbitrarily Directed Hertzian Dipoles in a Multilayer Dielectric Structure: Theory and Applications

A transmission line method is proposed to compute the far-field radiation patterns of arbitrarily directed Hertzian dipoles that are embedded in a multilayer dielectric structure. The evaluation of the field in the far-zone region is transformed into the evaluation of the field inside the multilayer structure by applying the reciprocity theorem. The horizontal field component inside the structure is derived by analyzing a transmission line circuit, and the vertical component is obtained from the horizontal component by separating the forward and backward waves. This method is implemented and verified by IE3D for the case of a three-layer structure excited by either electric Hertzian dipoles, magnetic Hertzian dipoles, or their combination. The radiation patterns of any antenna embedded in a multilayer dielectric structure can be computed with this method after replacing the physical antenna with a set of Hertzian dipoles. As examples, a quarter wavelength thin wire monopole antenna and a dielectric resonator antenna, both embedded in a multilayer structure, are investigated. Furthermore, the arrangement of the structure is optimized to maximize the antenna directivity. The results are also verified by the simulation of the entire structure with IE3D.

By inserting an inverted U-shaped parasitic plane on the bottom of the dielectric substrate, the proposed antenna can easily cover DCS/UMTS/WiBro/2.4 GHz WLAN and 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN bands at the same time. In addition, a /spl Gamma/-shaped slit is inserted on the main patch to cover the GSM frequency band. Experimental and numerical results of the designed monopole antenna are presented and analysed.

Experimental investigation for wideband perforated dielectric resonator antenna

A wideband perforated dielectric resonator antenna (PDRA) is presented. The effective permittivity of the dielectric resonator is altered by drilling holes into a circular ring lattice inside the DRA. The PDRA is equivalent of having an annular ring with lower permittivity outside the cylindrical disk, resulting in enhanced impedance bandwidth. The measured bandwidth of a prototype PDRA with relative permittivity 10.2 is 26.7% (S/sub 11/<-10 dB).

The effects of various parameters on the characteristics of the DR antenna are studied. Fabrication imperfection effects and the cross-polarization characteristics of this type of DR antenna are also investigated for the first time
