Abstract
Rectangular dielectric resonator antennas were designed to operate at high-order modes to achieve enhanced gain. A simple model was developed to predict the radiation patterns of the higher-order modes. Prototypes designed at 11 GHz showed gains of up to 5 dB above those obtained by the fundamental mode.
