INTRODUCTION attainment of multi band functioning irregular

In a short time ago Dielectric Resonator, a wireless
communication was introduced and well known
radiator at microwave frequency. It has significant
high gain, high radiation efficiency, simplicity of
integration MMICs and invisible metallic and surface
wave losses [A. Petosa,2007]. At the start of
exploration in 1983 Prof. Long and his co-worker
introduced dielectric resonator based radiator [S.A.
Long et. Al, 1983]. Such design is reachable for
different forms, dimensions like hemispherical,
cylindrical, triangular, rectangular, tetrahedral,
pentagon and so-on. In this letter, we have used
cylindrical shape DRA. These days, research
community gave their attention towards the antenna
with multi-band features. It is due to its multi
function and various uses as single antenna work for
many wireless exercises with orientation liberty
across transmitter and receivers [C.A. Balanis,2005].
Minimum intervention with non-applicable frequency
band is also supplied by multi-band antennas.
Recently multi-band features in case of DRA have
been reported by research workers. To get multi-band
characteristics in the case of DRA three significant
techniques are accessible. Initial and significant
technique is the applications of different exciting
procedures like, psi-form (ψ) microstrip line, co-axial
probe technique and rounded patch together by
annular ring designed Microstrip structure [V.
Hamsakutty et al,2005, A. Sharmaet al.,2017, A.
Sharmaet al.,2016]. Next method is correlated form of
DRAs which was proposed by Sharma et al. For
pentagon and hexagonal form of DRAs were
designed to get multi-band operations. [SatishK.
Sharma et al., 2013] Hamsakutty et. al. suggested new
Dielectric Resonator Antenna using Co-axial type
Feeding mechanism [V. Hamasakutty et al., 2006].
The tertiary method i.e. hybrid antennas have very
popularity these days due to its simple technique
which furnish autonomous manage various frequency
bands. [H.M. Chen et al.,2009, M. H. Neshati et al.,
2001].
In the proposed work, the cylindrical Ring DRA is
excited by an aperture coupled feeding technique.
After a brief introduction in section I, the whole
research paper is divided into four sections. In section
II discussed about layout and analysis of the
proposed antenna. In section III discussed the
simulated results of an integrated Ring DRA. Finally
this research work has been concluded in section IV.
ANTENNA GEOMETRY
In this paper we proposed an annular shape
microstrip line fed integrated Ring DRA. Figure 1
shows the complete structure of the integrated DRA.
The proposed structure is the combination of the H-
shaped and annular shape microstrip line structure
which is shown in Figure 2(a). The FR4 substrate is
used here with dimensions of 50mm X 50mm. The
specification of utilized FR4 substrate is relative

20
dielectric constant of 4.4, loss tangent of 0.023
1.6mm of thickness. The length and width of the
substrate is Ls and WS. The excitation of radiator is
done by annular shape microstrip feed line. LF and
WF are length and width of the feed line respectively.
Alumina ceramic material is used for transformation
of Ring DRA its dielectric permittivity is 9.8 and loss
tangent is 0.002. H is the height of the Ring DRA, D0
is the outer diameter of the DRA, D I is the internal
diameter of the DRA.
The introduced hybrid DRA has been designed and
simulated result was carried out using Ansoft HFSS.
Figure 3 is exhibiting Reflection coefficient of the
proposed antenna which shows that the the resonance
frequency of the proposed radiator is 2.4GHz,
3.4GHz, 4.1GHz, 5.2GHz respectively with return
loss of -20dB, -25dB, -35dB, -32dB respectively. The
bandwidth obtained at these frequencies is 12.74,
5.04 and 5.26 which is much better as compared to
existing designs.
