Abstract :
A coaxial fed hexagonal dielectric resonator antenna (HDRA) for multifrequency operation is developed. The antenna exhibits multiple resonances with same polarization. The return loss, impedance and radiation characteristics of the antenna are measured and are found suitable for multiple frequency applications
