Abstract
Abstract A novel circular polarized Hemispherical Dielectric Resonator Antenna (HDRA) has been proposed in this paper. The Circular Polarization (CP) and enhanced gain characteristics of the antenna are attributed to the fractal geometry applied on the HDRA. Probe coupling is used to excite the proposed antenna which resonates at 4.16 GHz and offers an impedance bandwidth of 2.6 GHz (57 %), from 3.3 to 5.9 GHz. The gain and efficiency of the antenna are 6.38 dBi and 93 % respectively at 4.16 GHz. The Proposed DRA is designed using FR-4 material having a dielectric constant (εr ) of 4.3 and dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.025. The designed Antenna is experimentally verified and offers a close agreement between simulated and measured results. This Antenna offers a 3-dB Axial Ratio (AR) bandwidth of 1.1 GHz from 4.2 to 5.3 GHz.
