Abstract

A novel compact ultrawideband (UWB) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with a band rejection at 5.8 GHz is proposed and studied. The antenna is composed of a thin monopole printed antenna loaded with DR that is housed into a dielectric substrate and an L-shaped parasitic strip connected to the ground plane. The L-shaped strip and metallic sheet are utilized to improve impedance bandwidth. A modified metallic sheet underneath the dielectric resonator has been applied to create a band rejection at frequency 5.8 GHz. The measurement results exhibit acceptable performances in terms of reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, efficiency, and realized gain.
