Abstract :
A patch loaded dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented. It consists of a dielectric resonator surrounded by a rectangular patch ring acting as a loading element which produces a widen beamwidth in the antenna patterns. A prototype antenna is designed and a 120deg 3-dB beamwidth is demonstrated. The measured radiation patterns are stable across the operating frequency range.
