A new microwave dielectric resonator Ba(Tb1/2Nb1/2)03 has been prepared and characterized in the microwave frequency region. 1 wt% CeO2 is used as additive to reduce the sintering temperature. The sintered samples were characterized by XRD, SEM and Raman spectroscopic methods. Microwave DR properties such as er, Q factor and temperature-coefficient of resonant frequency (Ti) have been measured using a HP 8510 B Network Analyzer. Cylindrical DRs of Ba(Tb1/2Nbi/2)03 showed high Er (~ 37), high Q (~3,200) and low Tf (~10 ppm /°C) at 4 GHz and hence are useful for practical applications

Abstract:
The impedance bandwidth of a high permittivity cylindrical dielectric
resonator antenna excited by a micro strip line was significantly
improved by modifying the feed geometry. The 10 dB return loss
bandwidth is enhanced from 12 to 26% without much affecting the
gain and other radiation properties of the antenna. Good agreement

Abstract:
A new dual port microstrip antenna geometry for dual frequency
operation is presented. The structure consists of the intersection
of two circles of the same radius with their centres displaced by a
small fraction of the wavelength . This antenna provides wide

The gain of the antenna is comparable to that of a standard
circular microstrip antenna operating at the same resonant
frequency. A theoretical analysis for calculating the resonant
frequencies of the two ports is also presented

Abstract:
In this paper, microstrip lines magnetically coupled to splitring
resonators (SRRs) are conquved to electromagnetic bundgup (EBG)
nr,rrostrip lines in terns q/ their stop-heard penjbrnmrnce and dimensions. In
bath types o/ trunsmis•siou lines, signal propagation is inhibited in it certain
jequency bwuL For EBG microstrip lines, the central frequency of such a
forbidden band is determined by the period of the structure, whereas in
SRR-hased microstrip lines the position of the frequency gap depends on
the quasi-static resonant frequency of the rings. The main relevant conrributiun
of this paper is to provide a tuning procedure to control the gap width
in SRR microstrip lines, and to show that by using SRRs, device dimensions
ale much smaller than those required by EBGs in order to obtain similar
stop-banal performance. This has been demonstrated by fill-wave electromagnetic
simulations and experimentally verified from the characterization
ql two fabricated microstrip lines: one with rectangular SRRs etched on the
upper substrate side, and the other with a periodic perturbation cf'strip
width. For similar rejection and 1-(;H,. gap width centered at 4.5 Gllz, it
has been found that the SRR microstrip line is•,fve times shorter. In addition,
no ripple is appreciable in the allowed band for the .SRR-hared structure,
whereas due to dispersion, certain mismatch is expected in the EBG
prototype. Due to the high-frequency selectivity, controllable gap width, and
small dimensions, it is believed that SRR coupled to planar transmission
lines can have an actual impact on the design of stop-band filters compatible
with planar technology, and can be an alternative to present solutions based on distributed approaches or EBG

Abstract:
A new method for enhancing the 2.1 VSWR impedance
bandwidth of microstrip antennas is presented. Bandwidth enhancement
is achieved by loading the microstrip antenna by a ceramic microwave
dielectric resonator (DR). The validity of this technique has been established
using rectangular and circular radiating geometries. This method
improves the bandwidth of a rectangular microstrip antenna to more
than 10% (= 5 times that of a conventional rectangular microstrip
antenna) with an enhanced gain of I dB
Ceramic dielectrics with high dielectric constant in the microwave frequency range are used as filters, oscillators [I], etc. in microwave integrated
circuits (MICs) particularly in modern communication systems like cellular telephones and
satellite communications. Such ceramics, known as 'dielectric resonators (DRs),donot
only offer miniaturisation and reduce the weight of the microwave components. but also
improve the efficiency of MICs
