Abstract

When a dielectric resonator is not entirely enclosed by a conducting boundary, it can radiate, and so it becomes an antenna, named Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs). DRAs consist of dielectric materials in its radiating patch also called as dielectric resonators (DRs) on one side of the substrate and has a ground plane (metal) on the other side. DRAs have several merits, including high radiation efficiency, flexible feed arrangement, simple geometry and compactness. There are wide applications of DRAs and it can be designed for the compactness, wide impedance, low profile, circular polarization, and for the high gain.
