Abstract:
A novel technique fitr the bat dividth enhancement of conventional
rectangular microstrip antenna is proposed in this paper. When a
high permittivity dielectric resonator of suitable resonant frequency was
loaded over the patch. the % bandwidth of the antenna was increased by
more than five tunes without much affecting its gain and radiation performance.
A much more improved bandwidth was obtained when the dielectric
resonator was placed on the feedline. Experimental study shows a 2:1
VSWR bandwidth of more than 10% and excellent cross polarization performance
with increased pass band and radiation coverage abnost the same
as that of rectangular microstrip antenna
