The study deals with the application of low‐temperature co‐fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for design of a higher‐order mode dielectric resonator antenna element operating at centre frequency 25.7 GHz. The LTCC material that the authors use provides very low dielectric losses and enables us to design an antenna element with very high radiation efficiency. The authors follow by examining the mutual coupling between two resonators and the authors propose a small (1 × 4) one‐dimensional antenna array composed of such elements. In order to minimise the dimensions of the ground plane and to place the connector at a convenient location, the authors design a parallel feed network in substrate integrated waveguide technology, thus reducing the radiation losses of the feeding structure. The experiments verify the four‐element antenna array concept with maximum measured gain of 16.3 dBi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
