“…Therefore, the corresponding dimensions of the DR sectors were fixed at a radius of a = 7.5 mm and depth d = 2.5 mm. All other parameters of the DRA design i.e., size of the T-junction stub at the open end of a microstrip line, ground plane, and substrate dimensions were based on our previous work [21][22][23]. It was found that by having a Tjunction of the size (s = 3 mm) at the open end of the microstrip line, the DRA can be effectively excited with strong electromagnetic coupling and ultra wideband response.…”

“…YIG has been reported to have high frequency antenna applications [12]. However, the calculated bandwidth efficiency [BW % = (F 2 -F 1 )/ F C 9 100 where F C is the center resonance frequency at minimum return loss, and; F 1 & F 2 are resonance frequencies at -10 dB intersections] indicated that the fabricated antenna from YIG is having a low BW % (4.46 %) [9]. This value would easily cause radio interference during signal transmission because the operating frequency size is in the narrow range (0.38-0.44 GHz) [9,13,14].…”
YIG is useful for dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) but its narrow size of frequency bandwidth (0.38-0.44 GHz), negatively influenced the DRA performance. An investigation on Ce doped YIG through the conventional solid-state reaction based on the Y 3-x Ce x Fe 5 O 12 (Ce x ; x = 0-1.5) system was carried out. Outside the range of 0.1 B x B 1.0 where maximum solid solution could be achieved, a new impure phase of CeFeO 3 (CIP) to YIG was detected. Ce affected the sample microstructure and reduced the grain size of YIG. For the DRA measurement, the addition of Ce enhanced the bandwidth efficiency (BW %) up to 11.16 %. The radiation patterns of all the samples indicated the omnidirectional characteristic, which suggested that the signal could be received by this dielectric antenna in various positions. Therefore, Ce doped YIG successfully enhanced the operating frequency of the antenna and was suitable for the X-band frequency range applications.
“…13 Recently, great efforts have been paid on the frequency tunable DRA and various frequency tuning techniques have been exploited. [14][15][16][17][18] For example, the lengths and positions of the parasitic slot and strip can be used to tune the frequency of the DRA. 19,20 However, this approach does not support dynamic frequency tuning.…”
