Broadband Glass Paperweight Dielectric Resonator Antenna for WLAN Applications

摘要

In recent times, Wi-Fi b/g (802.1 b/g) has been profoundly accepted due to the desire for increased data rates and minimal costs. It promotes the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) applications. Dielectric resonator antenna has been widely preferred for the various applications due to their low weight, low profile, conformability, easy and cheap realization. In this paper, an aperture-fed rectangular glass paperweight dielectric resonator antenna has been proposed. This antenna serves a great advantage because of its low cost, as glass material is utilized as radiator. The antenna seems to support near omnidirectional pattern providing a widespread impedance bandwidth of 1960 MHz.
