Bandwidth enhancement of rectangular dielectric resonator antenna for UMTS application

A novel wideband rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA) is proposed in this paper. An equivalent air-dielectric DRs blocs are introduced inside the resonator to enhance the structure's bandwidth. The hybrid structure is excited by a simple …

Exploitation of the UC-PBG structure as ground plane to enhance microstrip antenna bandwidth

The uniplanar compact photonic bandgap (UC-PBG) metamaterial structure has been profitably used for antenna miniaturization and radiation enhancement purposes. This paper presents an additional way to exploit it, when it is employed as ground plane …
