Dielectric resonator antenna for millimeter wave applications

Abstract

Dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) for millimeter wave applications is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna is realized by a very low loss low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technique that is well suited to integrate with a monolithic microwave integrated circuit. A T-slot-stub CPW feedline is employed to excite the DR, which is optimized the impedance matching of the antenna. The broadside fundamental mode of the DRA is applied to linear polarization. The design is given by using commercial software.
