Performance Comparisons Between Dielectric Resonator Antennas and Printed Microstrip Patch Antennas at X-band

The performance of a cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) and a circular printed microstrip patch antenna (MPA) are compared at X-band. Comparisons between the antenna sizes, transmission coefficients, radiation patterns, gains and radiation ...

Microstrip patch antennas (MPA) 1–5 and dielectric resonator antennas (DRA) 6–7 have been studied extensively. They share the advantages of low profile, lightweight, ease of fabrication and are easy to excite by different methods. Both antennas are viable candidates for numerous applications, either as individual elements or in an...
