This article proposes a novel compact wideband dielectric resonator antenna design that incorporates inhomogeneous material distribution in a cubic structure. Specifically, in this design, the cubic dielectric resonator antenna is divided into multiple small blocks, and a continuous genetic algorithm is employed to optimize the material property of each block in order to maximize the radiation bandwidth. As a result, a cubic dielectric resonator antenna with inhomogeneous material distributions is designed and tested. In measurement, the proposed compact dielectric resonator antenna design exhibits 64.9% impedance bandwidth (4.08–8 GHz), considerably higher than the bandwidth of the initial homogeneous dielectric resonator antenna. The maximum system gain achieved over the frequency range is 9 dB at 7 GHz, with a peak measured system efficiency of 90.6%.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available December 1, 2025

This paper presents a recent development on the fundamental limits of substructure dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs). Specifically, the substructure DRAs are found to have higher resonance frequencies than the superstructure DRA, and a bounding relation on Q factor is also obtained. Numerical examples based on a ring DRA and a cylindrical DRA is examined here to demonstrate the bounding relations.more » « less
