Microwave dielectric resonator antennas using orthogonal orientation of the resonator relative to a microstrip line have been studied. The mathematical expressions characterizing interrelations between key parameters of a singleelement antenna were obtained. The analytical relation for antenna return loss versus stub length and coupling coefficients of dielectric resonator with the feeding line and open space is derived. The assessment of the potential possibility and conditions of perfect antenna matching with feeding line is carried out. The numerical analysis of different antenna parameters proving the obtained analytical expressions is performed. A 4-element antenna array using the introduced excitation scheme is proposed.
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.
