Abstract :
A compact dual-band dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) using a parasitic c-slot fed by a microstrip line is proposed. In this configuration, the DR performs the functions of an effective radiator and the feeding structure of the parasitic c-slot in the ground plane. By optimizing the proposed structure parameters, the structure resonates at two different frequencies. One is from the DRA with the broadside patterns and the other from the c-slot with the dipole-like patterns. In order to determine the performance of varying design parameters on bandwidth and resonance frequency, the parametric study is carried out using simulation software High-Frequency Structure Simulator and experimental results. The measured and simulated results show excellent agreement.
