A Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) fed by Dielectric Image Line (DIL) through a narrow slot placed on a finite ground plane is numerically investigated. The effects of ground plane size on the radiation performance of the antenna are analyzed. To increase the antenna gain, four sidewalls are placed around the corners of the ground. Also, a reflector is placed at the back side of ...

In this paper, a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. Here three rectangular dielectric resonators are used as stepped manner. The DRA is excited by microstrip line which is an effective feed mechanism to obtain better radiation. In this design, rectangular shape was used as the dielectric resonator as it offers more option to cont...

Future base stations for Spatial Division Multiplex Access (SDMA) will utilize adaptive antenna arrays, capable of identifying the direction of the incoming signal and steering the transmitted beam in appropriate directions. The radiating elements that have been thus far considered for building the antenna array are typically wire dipoles or microstrip patches. This tutorial paper describes a n...

− This paper describes the design and use of an open Fabry-Perot resonator to evaluate the degree of anisotropy of dielectric material samples at millimeterwaves. The proposed implementation not only allows identifying the orientation of the dielectric principal axes but also determining the complex permittivity values along these axes.

Utilizing the small bending radius of high index contrast optical waveguides, ultra-compact optical devices such as waveguide branch, Mach-Zehnder interferometer, arrayed waveguide grating filter, microring resonator filter, and so on can be realized. We have proposed and demonstrated a vertically coupled microring resonator as an Add/Drop filter, and recently realized a hitless wavelength chan...

The variable spacing parallel plate resonator ~VSPPR! is a microwave transmission line resonator with a continuously variable thickness of the dielectric spacer between the superconducting or metallic plates, filled by cryogenic liquid or vacuum. We measure the dielectric spacer thickness dependencies of the resonator frequency and quality factor, and fit them to theoretical forms, in order to ...

We theoretically and experimentally investigate the multipolar hybrid plasmon-photon modes supported by a dielectric-metal core-shell resonator consisting of a dielectric core wrapped by a thin silver shell and the whispering-gallery modes in its pure dielectric counterpart (the dielectric sphere with the same size). We theoretically demonstrate that in a certain wavelength range the achievable...
