A Low-Profile Hybrid Multi-Permittivity Dielectric Resonator Antenna With Perforated Structure for Ku and K Band Applications

A wideband hybrid dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) consisting of a rectangular slot patch and a perforated stacked cylindrical dielectric resonator (DR) is proposed. A rectangular slot was etched on the grounding side of a microwave laminate (εs = 3.38) to excite the hybrid resonator at a high fre...
