Compact wideband multi-layer cylindrical dielectric resonator antennas W. Huang and A.A. Kishk Abstract: Homogenous dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) have been studied widely and their bandwidth have been reached to the possible upper limit. A new non-homogenous DRA, multi- layer cylindrical DRA (MCDRA), is designed and fabricated to achieve wider bandwidth. The antennas consist of three different dielectric discs, one on top of the other. Two different excitation mechanisms are studied here. As much as 66% of impedance bandwidth with a broadside radiation pattern has been demonstrated using a 50 V coaxial probe placed off the antenna axis. More than 32% of impedance with a broadside radiation pattern has been achieved when the antenna is excited by an aperture coupled 50 V microstrip feedline. Mode analysis is carried out to investigate the natural resonance behaviours of the MCDRA structure. 1 Introduction on top of the other, as shown in Fig. 1. Three dielectric discs are made of standard available dielectric substrate The dielectric resonator (DR) was used as an energy storage materials in our laboratory: Rogers RT/Duroid 6010 device rather than a radiator in microwave circuits for many (1r ¼ 10.2) with thickness 2.5 mm, Polyflon POLYGUIDE years [1]. In 1983, Long et al. [2] introduced it as an (1r ¼ 2.32) with thickness 3.35 mm and Rogers RT/ antenna, which is able to offer the advantages of compact Duroid 6006 (1r ¼ 6.15) with thickness 2.5 mm.
