Abstract

This letter presents a novel design of compact dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) that is dedicated to ultrawideband applications such as digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H). The dimensions of the radiation element are lambda₀/7 times lambda₀/13 times lambda₀/28 at 466 MHz. A miniaturization technique has been used in order to reduce the antenna size, and a parametric analysis of the antenna is performed. The measured results agree well with the simulated ones. The proposed antenna offers a bandwidth of 70% around 700 MHz for -8 dB impedance matching bandwidth definition and covers the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) IV, V and Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) bands.
