TL;DR: In this article, a simple approach for achieving superdirectivity of emitted radiation for electrically small antennas based on a spherical dielectric resonator with a notch excited by a dipole source was proposed.
Abstract: We propose and demonstrate experimentally a simple approach for achieving superdirectivity of emitted radiation for electrically small antennas based on a spherical dielectric resonator with a notch excited by a dipole source. Superdirectivity is achieved without using complex antenna arrays and for a wide range of frequencies. We also demonstrate the steering effect for a subwavelength displacement of the source. Finally, unlike previously known superdirective antennas, our design has significantly smaller losses, at the operation frequency radiation efficiency attains 80%, and matching holds in the 3%-wide frequency band without any special matching technique.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental procedure for designing a microstrip-fed series array of dielectric resonator antennas is presented, which is used to design a 10 element array with a Taylor amplitude distribution.
Abstract: An experimental procedure for designing a microstrip-fed series array of dielectric resonator antennas is presented. The procedure was used to design a 10 element array with a Taylor amplitude distribution. A gain of 13.2 dBi was measured at 8.2 GHz with maximum sidelobe levels of -17.5 dB. The cross-polarisation levels were also measured to be quite low, at -20 dB below the peak. >

TL;DR: In this article, the GT-cut quartz resonator is adjusted by eliminating the masses and the resonant portion and supporting portions are made in one piece by photolithographic technique.
Abstract: The GT-cut quartz resonator resonated by two longitudinal modes and provided with the masses for frequency-temperature characteristics adjustment and frequency adjustment. The frequency-temperature characteristics and the frequency of the GT-cut quartz resonator are adjusted by eliminating the masses. Consequently, the quartz resonator adjusted to the normal frequency and having the excellent frequency-temperature characteristics is attained. Further the GT-cut quartz resonator of small and thin size is attained by making the resonant portion and the supporting portions in one piece by photolithographic technique.

TL;DR: In this article, a compact T-shaped dielectric resonator antenna with two equilateral-triangle cross sections is investigated, where the antenna is vertically placed on a finite ground plane and excited by a coaxial probe to provide broadband and conical radiation patterns.
Abstract: A compact T-shaped dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with two equilateral-triangle cross sections is investigated in this letter. The DRA is vertically placed on a finite ground plane and excited by a coaxial probe to provide broadband and conical radiation patterns. In order to examine the proposed design, simulations and measurements were employed to investigate the proposed antenna, and a good agreement between them was obtained. The proposed design produces an impedance bandwidth of more than 60% from 1.6 to 3.1GHz, which effectively covers several promising application bands in contemporary wireless communication systems, such as digital communication systems (DCS: 1710-1880MHz), personal communication systems (PCS: 1850-1990MHz), universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS: 1920-2170MHz), wireless local area networks (WLANs: 2.4-2.485GHz). Additionally, stable conical patterns were also obtained within the interest frequency band

TL;DR: In this article, an inverted truncated annular conical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) for potential use in body-area network (BAN) applications is introduced.
Abstract: An inverted truncated annular conical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) for potential use in body-area network (BAN) applications is introduced. The antenna is designed to operate within the lower European ultrawideband (UWB) frequency band (3.4-5.0 GHz). The selected DRA geometry in combination with a capacitively loaded monopole as the feeding mechanism results in a low-profile antenna with wide bandwidth and stable monopole-like patterns. In addition, the antenna exhibits good UWB properties, as characterized through the dispersion effect on the transmitted impulse voltage signal. The DRA has been numerically and experimentally examined for both free-space and on-body applications, demonstrating a good performance in the frequency- and time-domain.
