Abstract :
A wideband aperture-coupled pentagon shape dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented for wireless communication applications. The antenna shows wideband impedance matching of 42% from 2.55 GHz to 3.9GHz with respect to S11 = -10dB and offers acceptable directional radiation patterns. This antenna also covers almost two major WiMAX (2.5GHz to 2.7GHz, and 3.3GHz to 3.8GHz) frequency bands.
