Abstract: | Dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) fed by a halfmode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) are proposed and studied in this paper. The investigated antenna configuration consists of a dielectric resonator (DR) mounted on the conducting back plane of an HMSIW. Energy is coupled from the interior HMSIW to the DR through an aperture between them. Using this excitation scheme, a 60 GHz linearly polarized HMSIW-fed DRA is first designed by applying a transverse rectangular slot to feed a dielectric cylinder. This design experimentally exhibits a bandwidth of 24.2% for S11 < -10 dB. In particular, a gain higher than 5.5 dB and a radiation efficiency between 80% and 92% are obtained over the whole operation band, indicating that the HMSIW can be an efficient feed for DRAs operating around 60 GHz. In addition to this linearly polarized example, a DRA of circular polarization, coupled through a pair of cross slots, is also designed, presenting a measured 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 4.0%. |
