Abstract
ABSTRACT For integrated design of a filter and an antenna, a wideband circularly polarized (CP) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with filtering characteristics is proposed. A rectangular slot structure is etched on the ground to optimize the axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of the antenna singly fed by one port. Capacitive filtering branches are combined into the microstrip feeding line to effectively generate two radiation nulls outside the passband. To further enhance the suppression level in the high-frequency stopband, the stair-shaped DR is chamfered into a fish-shaped structure. A suppression level larger than 15 dB is found within the stopband. A prototype of the antenna is fabricated, and both of the simulated and measured results show a wide bandpass filtering performance over the operating frequency band. The antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 37.8%, an AR bandwidth of 25.1%, and a low profile of 0.078λ 0 (λ 0 is the free-space wavelength at 5.47 GHz), which can be a good candidate for 5 G and WLAN communication systems.
期刊介绍:
Publishing eight times per year, Electromagnetics offers refereed papers that span the entire broad field of electromagnetics and serves as an exceptional reference source of permanent archival value. Included in this wide ranging scope of materials are developments in electromagnetic theory, high frequency techniques, antennas and randomes, arrays, numerical techniques, scattering and diffraction, materials, and printed circuits. The journal also serves as a forum for deliberations on innovations in the field. Additionally, special issues give more in-depth coverage to topics of immediate importance.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Submissions can be made via email or postal mail.
