BROADBAND MULTIPLE LAYER DIELECTRIC RESONATOR ANTENNA AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

Abstract:

A dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) includes: an electrically conductive ground structure; at least one volume of a dielectric material disposed on the ground structure; a signal feed disposed and structured to be electromagnetically coupled to the at least one volume of a dielectric material; and an electrically conductive fence disposed circumferentially around the at least one volume of a dielectric material, and electrically connected with and forming part of the electrically conductive ground structure.
