Abstract :
A rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA) is studied theoretically and experimentally. Both a conventional dielectric waveguide model (CDWM) and FEM are used to predict the resonance frequency, radiation patterns, directivity, e-factor and impedance bandwidth of the RDRA. The theoretical results are compared with those obtained experimentally.
