Dielectric resonator antenna

摘要

A dielectric resonator antenna has a dielectric layer and a conducting layer formed on a main surface of the dielectric layer. An electrical contact is formed on the main surface for connecting the dielectric layer to a transmission line for transferring a signal between the dielectric layer and the transmission line. The electrical contact is insulated from the conducting layer. A conducting strip is connected to the electrical contact and is on a side surface of the dielectric layer. The side surface is not on the same plane of the main surface. Rather, the side surface is perpendicular to the main surface of the dielectric layer.
