F-Shaped Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) for 4G/LTE Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

A F-shaped DRA at 2.6 GHZ for 4G/LTE application is presented in this paper. The F-shaped DRA was mounted on FR4 as a substrate. The simulated and measured impedance bandwidth are 20% (2.43-2.94GHz) and 36% (2.04-2.98GHz), respectively. The mode excited in this design is TEy1δ1 mode. The antenna provides gain of 1.99 dBi at frequency 2.6 GHz. The proposed antenna was analyzing and optimizing using CST Microwave Studio Software. The reasonable agreement between the measured and simulated results is observed.
