Ground effects on arc-shaped conformal dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) working in the TE z 11δ mode are investigated and utilized to attain various radiation performances. Manipulation of directivity patterns are achieved with the help of the three-dimensional curved metal ground. The backlobe, beamwidth, broadside gain, backscattering, and cross-polarization level of the antenna are all readily controllable. The geometric theory of diffraction is applied to provide an intuitional explanation for the radiation changes. Detailed analysis is then conducted from the perspective of ground current. It is found that the current distribution is affected by configurations of both the arc DRA and ground plane. Based on this, analytical methods are developed to calculate the ground effects exclusively for conformal arc-shaped DRAs. Next, the design theory of arc DRAs with curved ground is proposed. To demonstrate it, two conformal DRAs owning directional and wide beams, respectively, are designed as paradigms. At last, a prototype is fabricated and measured for validation. INDEX TERMS Conformal antennas, dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs), ground effects, radiation patterns.

“…However Textile based DRA has been already patented. In SHH Mashhadi et al [49,50] investigated on the textile based DRA, it is said so because the DRA of Bow tie Shape (TMM10i, ε=9.8), is placed above a fabric substrate here it is knitted cotton with buckram and metallic ground plane with a micro strip feed mechanism both of Aluminum fiber conductive yarn, the same configuration treated on human body and found acceptance. From his trial he contributed some factors that has to be consider for future application to develop that into device, those are as follows: a) Choice of textile geometry such as it improves stability and also withstands any tough condition.…”

The major aim of this paper is to collate the information on application oriented performance of DRA. Here we dominantly discussed on multi functional performance of antenna as a package material along as oscillator and filter and multi aspects of transparent DRA. A glimpse on On-Chip-DRA considering difficulty of the process to encourage the knowledge to overcome discrepancy. A note on Material and geometry influence in different application including RADAR, RFID is discussed. The advantage of small ground plane is discussed and markedly we produced details on Biomedical application of DRA that contrived a significant distinct compared with other Review articles of DRA.

“…But some articles are still not covered in these sections and felt by the authors to be discussed in a separate section from their application, novelty, and importance point of view. Therefore the literature is being discussed in this section. An illustrative idea of these DRA utilized applications is briefed in Figure .…”

This survey article outlines a comprehensive investigation of research carried out on dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) in the last three and half decades, in an application‐oriented approach. DRAs have created a remarkable position in antenna engineering for their adept characteristics like high efficiency, low loss, wide bandwidth, compact size, 3‐dimensional modeling flexibility, etc. The use of DRAs for different commercial and defense applications associated with the wireless communication is highlighted in this article. To make a smooth and effective survey article, all the application‐oriented DRAs available in the open literature are classified in five different categories like microwave bands, specific frequency, technology, millimeter‐wave, and miscellaneous types. The ultimate aims of this review article are as follows: (i) highlights the usability of DRAs for different commercial and defense applications, (ii) helpful for the antenna industries/manufacturers to find out the best DRA for any specific application as per their requirement, and (iii) points out research gap in some application domains which will be quite helpful for future antenna researchers. In the authors' opinion, this survey may be helpful to DRA researchers as such a survey process is not available in the open literature.
