This paper presents a new dual-band elliptical dielectric resonator antenna (EDRA). The EDRA is mounted on a ground plane and fed with a rectangular slot exited by a microstrip line. By optimizing the structure parameters, it is possible to obtain more than one excited mode in a limited frequency band. Numerical and measurement results for the radiation patterns of this slot fed EDRA are given ...

This paper presents the design of a dual band rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) coupled to narrow slot aperture that is fed by microstrip line. The fundamental TE111 mode and higher-order TE113 mode are excited with their resonant frequencies respectively. These frequencies can be controlled by changing the DRA dimensions. A dielectric resonator with high permittivity is used to mi...

techniques are described as follows. Wolfe discusses the techniques of strip mining and iteration space tiling [25], which organize the computations in the original loops into chunks of equal size to take advantage of vector registers, caches, or local memory. Nicolau [13] proposes a method called loop quantization to partition nested loops. King and Li [9] discuss the grouping of loop iteratio...

Circular and Radial SIW cavity resonators are proposed to enhance the performance of SIW bandstop filter. Prior to this research work, rectangular cavity resonator was used to produce bandstop response. The design of the circular and radial SIW bandstop filters are done by directly coupling circular and radial cavity resonators to the SIW line. The SIW bandstop filters are designed to operate a...

A Dielectric Resonator loaded Substrate integrated waveguide cavity backed slot antenna (SIDRA) is proposed for two slot polarizations and orientation. A SIW-fed cylindrical DRA using rectangular slot is used for obtaining bandwidth of about 5% at 6.15 GHz. For enhancing bandwidth, a plus shaped slot with bandwidth of about 8.80% and gain of 3.7 dB is proposed. The proposed antenna represents S...

We propose and analyze a new type of a resonator in an annular geometry that is based on a single defect surrounded by radial Bragg reflectors on both sides. We show that the conditions for efficient mode confinement are different from those of the conventional Bragg waveguiding in a rectangular geometry. A simple and intuitive approach to the design of optimal radial Bragg reflectors is propos...

Electromagnetic (EM-)fluctuations in the rectangular wave guide are considered. In the limit of the empty (lossless) wave guide the partial mode densities, the volume averaged correlations and the internal energy are discussed in both, the high and the low temperature representation. The results are compared with the corresponding quantities in the cube, the slab resonator and the infinite isot...

Design, simulation, and measurement of a compact filtering microstrip antenna is presented. A feed line, two hairpin resonators, and a rectangular patch are integrated to form the filtering antenna. The elements together function as a third order bandpass filter with Chebyshev equal ripple response of 0.043 dB at midband frequency of 2.0 GHz. The rectangular patch acts not only as a radiating e...

A miniature non-uniform copper-air rectangular coaxial line with the inner conductor supported by periodic dielectric straps is demonstrated. The overall height of the line is 310gm with the outer conductor cross-section being 250gmx250gm. The measured loss is 0.22dB/cm at 26GHz, while the isolation between two parallel lines with a center-to-center separation of 700gm is better than 60dB. Seve...

A novel wideband rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is proposed in this paper. A hybrid structure with an isolated dielectric resonator (DR) and an equivalent air-dielectric DR is introduced by lifting the resonator from the ground plane. The hybrid structure is excited by a slot-fed mechanism to obtain a smooth transition between each resonant mode. The resonant modes of the isolat...
