Improvements in Wi-MAX Reception: A New Dual-Mode Wideband Circularly Polarized Dielectric Resonator Antenna

An examination of a new kind of rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) demonstrates that it delivers better gain and radiation efficiency for operating in the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (Wi-MAX) (3.3-3.7 GHz) band. The new dual-mode wideband circularly polarized (CP) DRA is implemented by using a stair-shaped microstrip feed line, a pair of L-shaped slots in the ground plane, and a rectangular...
