摘要
A new simple compact ultra-wideband (UWB) dielectric resonator antenna is presented. The antenna consists of a modified stepped microstrip-fed monopole printed antenna loaded with a rectangular dielectric resonator, truncated ground plane, and a parasitic strip underneath the dielectric resonator (DR). Using an optimized truncated ground plane and a combination of stepped feed line with DR an ultra-wide impedance bandwidth of 153% for (|S-11|-10dB), covering the frequency range of (3.7-28GHz) is achieved. The added parasitic strip can improve the radiation pattern, especially at high frequencies. The proposed antenna covers almost the entire UWB (3.1-10.6GHz), Ku (12.4-18GHz), and K (18-26.6GHz) frequency bands. Also this antenna has an omnidirectional and stable radiation pattern over the whole operating frequency range and a compact size of (15x20x5.8mm(3)) that make it suitable for wideband wireless system applications. This structure is light weight and can be easily fabricated. A prototype is built and measured. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.
