Abstract :
A novel wideband dielectric resonator antenna is proposed, where an inverted L-shaped dielectric resonator is excited by a vertical trapezoid-patch. The antenna has a simple structure and provides an impedance bandwidth of 73.0% for VSWRles2, covering the frequency range from 3.80 GHz to 8.17 GHz, and with a stable broadside radiation pattern.
