Abstract

In this study, the theory of characteristic modes is used as the first time for the analysis and design of a wideband rectangular dielectric resonator antenna. The rectangular dieletric resonator antenna was excited by a microstrip feeder with a rectangular coupled slot. The antenna is designed for low-temperature co-fired ceramic fabrication, with Ferro A6-M material and for ISM-band at 60GHz. The proposed antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 33% for S₁₁<;-10dB.
