Abstract:
An ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna is designed, which is fed by a coplanar waveguide along with Dielectric ResonatorAntenna (DRA) is discussed. The patch of ultra-high-frequency antenna structure comprises many full circles and half circles, rearranging the two focal point orientation and dimension of radius such that the antenna works in ultra-wideband frequency range and a rectangular slot in the middle of the antenna patch to change the orientation of current distribution. The antenna is resonating at 8.9GHz with a reflection coefficient (S11) of -15.39dB, Gain is negative at resonating frequency, and Polarization at resonating frequency is linear. The proposed antenna is designed by mounting Cylindrical Dielectric Resonating Antenna (CDRA) on the rectangular slot made on the patch. By mounting a cylindrical DRA structure on the patch, the antenna is resonating at 3.6 GHz with a reflection coefficient (S11) value - 22.54dB, achieving a Gain of 3.44dB at resonating frequency. The Polarization achieved by placing cylindrical DRA is circular Polarization which is more useful in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) applications. The proposed antenna is practically designed, and performance characteristics are measured and verified with simulation results.
