Characteristics of a microstrip‐excited high‐permittivity rectangular dielectric resonator antenna

The radiation characteristics of a microstrip-line-excited rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) are studied experimentally. The radiation characteristics and excitation of different modes are highly influenced by the orientation of the DR, feed line parameters, and finite size of the ground plane. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
