Abstract

A very compact ultra-wideband (UWB) rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA) is presented. The antenna is combined of a thin monopole printed antenna loaded with DR and a parasitic strip connected to the ground plane to improve impedance bandwidth. A combination mechanism of the rectangular dielectric resonator (RDR) which is housed into a dielectric substrate and parasitic strip connected to the ground plane provide high radiation efficiency, ultra wide impedance bandwidth, and consistent omnidirectional radiation patterns with compact size. The antenna overall size is 11 × 27.5 × 5 mm³. The microstrip line is applied to feed the antenna.
