N2 - The dual functions of the rectangular hollow dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) as an antenna and a packaging cover are investigated. The design methodology is discussed, and the return loss, impedance, and radiation patterns for the fundamental mode are presented at 2.4 GHz, a popular frequency band for the WLAN and wireless communications. A low-noise amplifier is integrated successfully into the embedded cavity to form an active DRA, and the amplified radiation patterns are analyzed. The proposed DRA provides a possible solution to the size minimization of transceivers. © 2006 IEEE.
