IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION, VOL. 60, NO. 2, FEBRUARY 2012 751 Omnidirectional Linearly and Circularly Polarized Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antennas Yong Mei Pan, Member, IEEE, Kwok Wa Leung, Fellow, IEEE, and Kai Lu, Student Member, IEEE Abstract— The rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) was found that its radiation pattern is omnidirectional in the hor- centrally fed by a probe is investigated. Its operating mode is anal- izontal plane as similar to that of an electric monopole. ogous to the  mode of a cylindrical DRA. The DRA radiates As compared with the linearly polarized (LP) system, the like an electric monopole, generating omnidirectional linearly po- larized (LP) fields. Based on this LP design, a novel omnidirectional circularly polarized (CP) system allows a more flexible orien- circularly polarized (CP) DRA is studied for the first time.

Also, it can sup- are introduced to the sidewalls of the DRA, exciting a degenerate press the multipath problem due to reflections from the building mode for the generation of CP fields. To demonstrate the idea, an wall and ground surface [13]. As a result, the CP antenna has omnidirectional CP DRA was designed for WLAN (2.4–2.48 GHz) been used in modern wireless systems extensively. Various CP applications. The reflection coefficient, axial ratio (AR), radiation pattern, and antenna gain are studied, and reasonable agreement DRAs were investigated, such as the cross-slot coupled circular between the measured and simulated results is observed. disk DRA [14], strip-loaded hemispherical DRA [15], and aper- Inde
