A new modified CPW-fed wideband circularly polarized half-split cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna with different permittivity of two layers in radial direction

Abstract

In this article, a wideband circularly polarized half‐split cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (HS‐CDRA) having two layers with different permittivity in radial direction is investigated. Designed antenna is excited by a new modified CPW fed which consists of signal line, helps to realization of circular polarization, half‐split cylindrical dielectric resonator (HS‐CDR), to confirm that circular polarization in proposed antenna. HS‐CDR is made of two different materials which can supports to enhance the input impedance bandwidth and 3‐dB axial ratio bandwidth. From the distributions of E‐fields in HS‐CDRA, it is observed that TM11δ mode has been excited. To confirmed the circular polarization in proposed antenna, E‐field distribution on different phases (φ = 0º, 90º, 180º, and 270º) have been plotted. This antenna provides measured −10 dB input impedance bandwidth of 25.94% (centered on 4.70 GHz) and 3‐dB axial ratio bandwidth in broadside direction of 17.34% (centered on 4.90 GHz). The average gain and radiation efficiency in working band are 1.56 dBi and 93.43% in broadside direction, respectively. CP radiation pattern shows that the proposed antenna has left hand circular polarization and this developed antenna could be useful for wireless applications like WLAN/Wi‐MAX bands.

“…Therefore, compared to conventional antennas, DRAs are more suitable to full‐fill these requirements. DRAs are also offering flexibility in shapes and feeding mechanism, so that antenna engineers can choose according to their requirements . From the literature survey, it has been observed that the circular polarization in DRA could be generated by 2 ways; first is single and the second is complex/dual feeding techniques .…”

“…Dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) have been used in every aspect such as to increase the antenna bandwidth, gain, and radiation efficiency due to absence of metallic losses and surface waves. Besides this, DRA offers ease of excitations, design flexibility, compact size, and low cost . Linearly polarized (LP) antennas are popular and used for wireless communication systems but in current scenarios, the use of LP antennas are less used in satellite communication systems because of its far‐field characteristics, that is, it is radiate in either horizontal or vertical directions .…”
