Abstract:

An approach for circular polarization (CP) operation of ceramics dielectric resonator antenna is proposed with analysis and discussion. The antenna uses a gapped annular slot to realize CP radiation, which reduces complexity of feed network in ordinary CP designs. By changing the gap size, a variation of  S11 and the axial ratio are studied. Moreover, by adding two small symmetric patches to the resonator, performance of the antenna is further improved. This antenna operates at  5.20 GHz in the public communication band. High dielectric resonator (DR) is used to make the antenna small. 
