Dual-band hybrid dielectric resonator antenna with CPW-fed slot

A novel hybrid antenna structure that combines a rectangular dielectric resonator and a CPW-fed slot with tuning stub is proposed. The proposed antenna is designed to resonate at the lower (2.4 GHz) and upper (5.3 GHz) 802.11 WLAN frequency hands, respectively. Comparisons between the simulation and measurement results confirm the good properties exhibited by the proposed antenna. (c) 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
