Mathematical Analysis of Half Volume DRA with Performance Evaluation for High Speed System Applications

Abstract

A novel efficient design analysis has been proposed for a reduced-size dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). This has been done by using half-volume resonator with short-circuited plane of symmetry. The design serves as a new configuration of planar antenna, thus making integration of active devices easier. The antenna shows remarkable performance, having low cross-polarization levels and reasonably well radiation patterns. The antenna design has been simulated using a new analytical framework created in MATLAB giving accurate measurement details.
