Two Element Half Split Cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna for wideband monopole-like radiation

A wideband two element half split cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) fed through coaxial probe has been designed for 5.0 GHz WLAN and WiMAX Band and its input and radiation characteristics determined through the Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software. The input characteristics of the proposed antenna and a single element half split CDRA of same size as the element is compared. The proposed antenna provides wide bandwidth (~66%) with monopole type radiation pattern.
