Using proposed method the maximum phase-error was reduced from 5° to 0.8°, while the gain changes only within 0.1 dB.","PeriodicalId":354299,"journal":{"name":"2016 21st International Conference on Microwave, Radar and Wireless Communications (MIKON)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127970970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antenna consists of a cylindrical-ring dielectric resonator (DR) mounted on a low-cost FR-4 surface, and a full ground plane. The antenna is fed by a coaxial probe with its inner conductor located adjacent to the DR. The antenna has good performance in terms of input-matching, gain and efficiency characteristics. The variation of the antenna properties in terms of gain and efficiency are less than 2 and −0.5 dB across its impedance pass-band (20 to 35 GHz for S11<−10 dB). Using the proposed DRA design, the radiation characteristics of 2×2, 4×4, and 8×8 planar arrays are investigated. In addition, the fundamental properties of the 1×8 linear array have been discussed. Simulations have been done to validate the feasibility of the proposed DRA for the future 5G wireless networks.","PeriodicalId":354299,"journal":{"name":"2016 21st International Conference on Microwave, Radar and Wireless Communications (MIKON)","volume":"56 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124313650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
