IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO ATTACHING DIELECTRIC RESONATOR ANTENNAS TO MICROSTRIP LINES

摘要

There is disclosed a dielectric antenna comprising a dielectric resonator mounted in direct contact with a microstrip transmission line formed on one side of a printed circuit board. The dielectric antenna may be a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA), a high dielectric antenna (HDA) or a dielectrically-loaded antenna. The simple construction of the antenna leads to improved manufacturing reliability and efficiency, and allows all functional features of the antenna to be located on one side of a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate.
