Abstract
This paper presents a novel design of a single-layer, horizontally polarized, dual-band, omni- and multi-directional hybrid dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) feeding through a 50 Ω coaxial connector. The proposed antenna consists of an FR4 substrate, a regular ground plane and a cross-shaped patch. The connector is placed at the middle point of the square ground plane. Above the microstrip patch, four similar solid dielectric resonator elements are placed diagonally. These DRA structures generate the TE111, hybrid HEM22δ modes and put up an ideal magnetic dipole and an electric quadrupole far-field radiation pattern. To verify the idea, an optimized antenna model is fabricated and tested. A reasonable agreement between the measured and simulated results is obtained. The measured impedance bandwidths of the TE111 and HEM22δ modes are 4.26 % (2.9–3.2 GHz) and 4.34 % (4.4–4.6 GHz), respectively. The proposed antenna has a stable omnidirectional radiation pattern at the first resonance frequency and a directional radiation pattern at the second resonance frequency and provides volume reduction.
