Abstract:A novel conformal dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) array based on aperture-coupled series-feeding approach is presented for wireless communication. The antenna is composed of eight curved width-gradated DRA elements with a simple feeding structure. The proposed design presents a tapered current amplitude distribution by using DRA element width gradation method, and low side-lobe level (SLL) characteristic can be obtained. Besides, an extra matching line is inserted into the single feeding line to realize bet… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
