Summary: | A cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna
is proposed as a radiator for an active integrated antenna.
Harmonic tuning, which is the key step in designing active antenna
radiators, is achieved via a combination of shape factor control
over the resonator and insertion of reactive elements in the feed
system. Numerical simulations are carried out in a finite elements
framework and a layout for the complete antenna is proposed,
aimed at compactness for subsequent utilization of the radiator
as an element in an active array for satellite communications. |
