Abstract
A new wideband and high-gain dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is proposed. Three cylindrical dielectric resonators (DRs) with different materials and different sizes and a metallic cylinder are designed to obtain a wideband bandwidth and a high gain. The stacked structure provides a wideband bandwidth, and the cavity formed by the metallic cylinder provides a high gain. The measured results demonstrate that the proposed DRA has a wide bandwidth from 5.4 to 7.0 GHz with VSWR less than two and a gain around 11 dBi, covering the frequency range of 26%. The experimental and numerical results are discussed and compared with each other, showing a good agreement between them.
