Abstract :
A novel low-cost method for generating circular polarization in a dielectric resonator antenna is proposed. The antenna comprises four rectangular dielectric layers, each one being rotated by an angle of 30 ° relative to its adjacent layers. Utilizing such an approach has provided a circular polarization over a bandwidth of 6% from 9.55 to 10.15 GHz. This has been achieved in conjunction with a 21% impedance-matching bandwidth over the same frequency range. Also, the radiation efficiency of the proposed circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna is 93% in this frequency band of operation
