Abstract

The hybrid Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) with circular polarization is another key research area since it can provide better antenna characteristics required by modern-day communication standards than the DRA with linear polarization. In this article, a Hybrid rectangular DRA is proposed. The Proposed DRA is excited with a novel feeding structure which is the combination of apex etched rectangular monopole and microstrip feed. The feeding structure is printed on a material with a dielectric constant of 4.4. The DR of 9.8 dielectric constants is placed on top of the patch. The proposed structure resonates at four different bands 1.42-1.52 GHz, 3.76-4.36 GHz, 4.92-5.35 GHz, and 7.02-8.74 GHz. The Critical parameters are analyzed and optimal dimensions are identified using the CST software. The proposed antenna exhibits circular polarization, which is validated with the axial ratio and electrical field distribution. The simulated results of the surface current are presented to validate the performance The measurement result is compared with the simulated results and found to be in agreement. The gain is well maintained above 1.5 dBi in all the resonating bands. A stable radiation pattern across all the resonating bands is achieved.
