Abstract

A small dielectric resonator antenna has been designed for lower ultra wideband (L-UWB) communication system applications. The antenna element is a rectangular low permittivity ceramic block, with a dielectric constant of 9.4, and the feed network includes a microstrip line to achieve strong coupling, and some bandwidth enhancement. The antenna performance is simulated and measured over a frequency band extending from 3060 MHz to 5400 MHz, the impedance bandwidth over this interval is 55% with VSWR < 2, making the antenna suitable for L-UWB applications.
