Abstract
In this Chapter, radiation properties of cylindrical dielectric resonator antennas are briefly reviewed. The input impedance and radiation pattern with various geometrical aspect ratios, dielectric constants and feeding structures are studied. Three feeding structures are considered: coaxial-fed probe, coaxial-fed conformai microstrip and CPW-fed conformai microstrip. The last feeding structure can be easily implemented and integrated with MMIC while retaining the advantages of DR antennas such as low cost, small size and free of conductor loss.
