Abstract

In this letter, a broadband inverted L-shaped dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is proposed. The DRA with the two equiangular-triangle across sections is built on a ground plane and excited by a coaxial probe to provide broadside radiation patterns. The simulated and measured results verify that the proposed antenna offers a bandwidth of 38% (from 1.71 to 2.51 GHz) and stable broadside radiation patterns. The proposed antenna is suitable for multiband wireless communication applications as digital communication systems (DCS; 1710-1880 MHz), personal communication systems (PCS; 1850-1990 MHz), universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS; 1920-2170 MHz), and wireless local area networks (WLANs; 2.4-2.485 GHz).
