Title
Steerable Higher Order Mode Dielectric Resonator Antenna With Parasitic Elements for 5G Applications.
Abstract
This paper presents the findings of a steerable higher order mode (TE1 delta 3y) dielectric resonator antenna with parasitic elements. The beam steering was successfully achieved by switching the termination capacitor on the parasitic element. In this light, all of the dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) have the same dielectric permittivity similar to that of ten and excited by a 50 Omega microstrip with a narrow aperture. The effect of the mutual coupling on the radiation pattern and the reflection coefficient, as well as the array factor, was investigated clearly using MATLAB version 2014b and ANSYS HFSS version 16. As the result, the antenna beam of the proposed DRA array managed to steer from -32 degrees to -32 degrees at 15 GHz. Furthermore, the measured antenna array showed the maximum gain of 9.25 dBi and the reflection coefficients which are less than 10 dB with the bandwidth more than 1.3 GHz, which is viewed as desirable for device-to-device communication in 5G Internet of Things applications.
