A new shaped circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna (CP DRA) is studied with branch-line coupler and log-periodic balun for the GPS application. Since the coupler and balun are located under the DRA, it does not increase the footprint of the antenna, as a result the system is very compact. Two configurations are considered in this paper. In the first configuration, an external 50Ω lo...

Overview of frequency domain measurement techniques of the complex permittivity at microwave frequencies is presented. The methods are divided into two categories: resonant and non-resonant ones. In the first category several methods are discussed such as cavity resonator techniques, dielectric resonator techniques, open resonator techniques and resonators for non-destructive testing. The gener...

After reviewing the limitation by the fine structure constant α of the dimensionless coupling constant of an hydrogenic atomwith amode of the electromagnetic field in a cavity, we show that the situation presents itself differently for an artificial Josephson atom coupled to a transmission line resonator. Whereas the coupling constant for the case where such an atom is placed inside the dielect...

An electrically small antenna based on a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is investigated. Two wellknown simulation techniques, the finite element method and the finite integration technique have been applied to study a low volume high permittivity DRA. It is demonstrated that the design of a compact size and wide frequency coverage DRA for 2.4–2.5 GHz ISM frequency band is possible by proper...

An L-shaped dual-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA) for long term evolution (LTE) applications is proposed. The presented antenna can transmit and receive information independently using fundamental TE111 and higher order TE121 modes of the DRA. TE111 degenerate mode covers LTE band 2 (1.85-1.99 GHz), 3 (1.71-1.88 GHz), and 9 (1.7499-1.784...

We propose a compact 1-μm-radius microring resonator sensor based on a hybrid plasmonic waveguide on a silicon-on-insulator substrate. The hybrid waveguide is composed of a metal-gap-silicon structure, where the optical energy is greatly enhanced in the narrow gap. We use the finite element method to numerically analyze the device optical characteristics as a biochemical sensor. As the optical ...

A novel cavity perturbation technique using coaxial cavity ruonators for the measurement of complex permittivity of liquids is presented. The method employs two types of resonators (Resonator I and Resonator ll). Resonator l operates in the fre­ quency range 600 MHZ-7 CH2 and resonator ll operates in the frequency range 4 Gliz-14 CH2. The introduction of the capillary tube filled wit? the sampl...

In this paper, a novel multi-permittivity cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna for wideband application is presented. The multi-permittivity cylinder is formed by combining two different permittivity material sectors in such a way that each sector (with constant permittivity) is 90 degree apart. A direct microstrip line coupling terminated with T-stub at the open end is used to excite the m...
