Abstract :
The use of a rectangular dielectric resonator as an antenna element is reported. The resonator is excited in its lowest order magnetic dipole mode using a microstrip line-slot combination. Measured results on the proposed antenna configuration show that the antenna has a bandwidth of about 10% and that its far field pattern is similar to that of a magnetic dipole. The overall antenna configuration is small in size, and can be easily integrated with MIC´s (microwave integrated circuits). The proposed configuration should be useful in applications such as active antenna arrays where the active circuitry can be fabricated on the same substrate.<>
