Abstract

A novel dual-broadband dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented. The proposed antenna has realised both dual-band and wideband features by applying the modified Sierpinski structure to the antenna design of the proposed DRA. The measured impedance bandwidths for <;i>|S<;/i><;sub>11<;/sub><;i>|<;/i> <; -10 dB are 2.25-2.6 GHz (14.46%) and 3.1-4.1 GHz (27.78%), which can cover the wireless local area network (WLAN, 2.4-2.484 GHz) and the worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX, 3.4-3.69 GHz) bands. Meanwhile, stable radiation patterns and gains of about 5 and 3.8 dBi at 2.4 and 3.5 GHz, respectively, have been observed.
