Abstract

unique conformal feed comprising of T-shaped metal strips has been used to excite the rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). By using this single excitation technique the circular polarization (CP) has been achieved. A 3dB axial ration with a bandwidth of ~8.4% along an impedance matching bandwidth of ~8.9% has been achieved. A successful overlapped bandwidth of ~7.2% has been provided by the antenna. The antenna designing and simulation has been done using computer simulation technology (CST). The antenna formulation and calculation has been done using Finite Integration Technique (FIT) and the results of FIT has been validate using finite element method (FEM). A good resemblance has been observed among the results of FIT and FEM.
