Abstract

This letter investigates dual-band and wideband designs of dual-polarized cylindrical dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs). These designs make use of the fundamental HEM111 mode and higher-order HEM113 mode of the DRA. The strip-and slot-fed excitation methods are used for Ports 1 and 2 of the antennas, respectively. For demonstration, a dual-band dual-polarized DRA for DCS (1.71-1.88 GHz) and WLAN (2.4-2.48 GHz) bands and a wideband version that covers the 2.4-GHz WLAN band were designed. The S-parameters, radiation patterns, antenna gains, antenna efficiencies, and envelope correlations of the two designs are studied. It was found that the dual-band and wideband designs have port isolations of higher than 36 and 37 dB, respectively. Good agreement between the measured and simulated results is observed. © 2002-2011 IEEE.
