Abstract

In this paper, a rectangular dielectric rod antenna fed by an air-substrate parallel strip line is proposed. The dielectric rod has a compact and regular structure, which is easy to fabricate. The matching of the antenna is mainly determined by the parallel strip line, which simplifies the design process. Fed by an air-substrate parallel strip line, the antenna obtains a relatively uniform magnitude distribution on the surface and a moderate phase constant. With the length of 6 wavelengths at the center frequency of 6 GHz, the antenna generates a high measured gain of 16.7 dBi. The measured 1 dB gain bandwidth is about 18.3%. Over the entire operating band from 5.4 to 6.6 GHz, a stable endfire radiation pattern and a good matching are achieved by the antenna.
