Abstract :
A hybrid antenna is presented, consisting of an annular dielectric resonator antenna combined with a quarter-wave monopole to simultaneously act as a radiator and a loading element, producing an ultra wideband response. A prototype antenna is designed and a 3:1 bandwidth is demonstrated.
