Broadband Dielectric Resonator Antenna With Metal Coating

A broadband dielectric resonator (DR) antenna is proposed, which consists of a rectangular DR coated with metal on three sides and placed on a ground plane. The structure is analyzed by modelling the dielectric-air interface as perfect magnetic conductor (PMC). A coplanar waveguide (CPW) with terminating slots is used to feed the antenna. Measurement results exhibit a wide bandwidth of about 47% over which the Ethetas pattern on the horizontal plane is nearly omnidirectional. The 10-dB bandwidth of this broadband DR monopole covers 4.2-6.8 GHz. Hence, it can be used for WLAN 802.11a applications
