Abstract
Two high input-isolation dual-polarized dielectric resonator (DR) antennas are presented in this communication. First, a slot-coupled feed technique with two narrow slots forming a T configuration is employed to design a dual-polarized DR antenna. Input isolation exceeding 35 dB has been obtained in the band for this design. Secondly, a hybrid feed mechanism with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed and a slot feed is used to achieve a dual-polarized DR antenna. A vertical strip is added at the center strip of the CPW feed to improve the coupling to the DR antenna. Also, input isolation exceeding 35 dB has been obtained in the band. Good cross-polarization levels less than -20 dB in the broadside direction are attained. The measured far-field radiation patterns are stable in the passband and the measured gains are around 5.5 dBi for the two feed ports of both cases.
