TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of center probe-fed cylindrical dielectric ring resonator antennas with an air gap were studied both theoretically and experimentally, and the return loss of the TM01δ mode was evaluated by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the result agrees well with the measured data.
Abstract: The characteristics of centre probe-fed cylindrical dielectric ring resonator antennas with an air gap are studied both theoretically and experimentally. The return loss of the TM01δ mode is evaluated by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the result agrees well with the measured data. It is demonstrated that the impedance bandwidth can be improved by adjusting the air-gap spacing.

TL;DR: In this article, an annular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is implemented for THz applications, which is loaded with graphene disk for obtaining the tunability in the frequency response.
Abstract: An annular dielectric resonator (DR) antenna (DRA) is implemented for THz applications. A silicon made DR is loaded with graphene disk for obtaining the tunability in the frequency response. The physical parameters of silicon annular DR can be set to obtain the resonance at any frequency in the lower THz band and can be tuned by changing the chemical potential of graphene nano-disk placed at the top of the DR. The response of antenna is preserved after changing the chemical potential of graphene. The higher order hybrid electromagnetic mode is excited in the antenna structure. The proposed research work provides a way to implement the antenna for THz frequency with high gain around 3.8 dBi and radiation efficiency in the range 72 − 75%.

TL;DR: The measured results demonstrated that the proposed singly fed DRA with EBG on the ground plate is suitable for implementing wideband circular polarized MIMO antennas in a compact size.
Abstract: We present a wideband circularly polarized (CP) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with enhanced diversity. In the DRA element, two diagonal edges of the DR were truncated at 45° to obtain a wider axial ratio larger than 0.65 GHz. The DRA element was excited by a cross-ring slot with specific slot-arm ratio through microstrip-line (MSTL) implemented at the backside of the FR4 substrate to generate CP fields. Small triangular stands at the edge of the DR were employed to hold it in place to avoid any degradation from the uncontrollable bonding agent used for attaching DR onto the FR4 substrate. The DRA achieved an impedance bandwidth better than 0.8 GHz with an antenna gain of 4.83 dBi. Using the DRA with the MSTL feed, two-element CP-DRA array was implemented with electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure etched onto the ground plane of the MSTL. The proposed architecture achieves isolation better than 26 dB over the desired frequency band without any performance degradation while maintaining its compact size in the array. Various diversity analysis was carried out on the implemented circularly polarized MIMO DRA. The measured results demonstrated that the proposed singly fed DRA with EBG on the ground plate is suitable for implementing wideband circular polarized MIMO antennas in a compact size.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a formula of the coupling coefficient between a dielectric resonator and a microstrip line from an analysis of the transmission characteristics of the micro-strip line coupled to the D resonator.
Abstract: A formula of the coupling coefficient between a dielectric resonator and a microstrip line is derived from an analysis of the transmission characteristics of the microstrip line coupled to the dielectric resonator. A practical method of calculation is developed using Fourier analysis. The calculated values show good agreement with the experimental values.
