Abstract

This paper presents a stacked cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna with wide circular polarization (CP) bandwidth (axial ratio < 3dB) of 16.0%. This wide CP bandwidth is achieved by stacking low permittivity dielectric (9.2) resonator on high permittivity dielectric (9.8) resonator to obtain improved impedance and axial ratio bandwidths as compared to conventional DRA. It is also shown that the asymmetrical structure used in the geometry results in a very high impedance bandwidth (more than 100%) in the frequency range of 2.1 GHz-12.0 GHz but at the expense of distorted CP operation on the off-broadside. This essentially covers the FCC band of operation (3.1GHz to10.6 GHz).
