BST-Coc Composite Based Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) for 2.4 WLAN Wrist Applications
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 16, 195-205, 2010
Abstract
A rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) based on Barium Strontium Titanate --- Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (BST-COC) composite for 2.4 GHz wrist application is designed and characterized. The dielectric properties of the composite with ~57 vol.% BST loading are characterized using microstrip ring resonator structures at 2.45 GHz frequency. The proposed DRA, fixed onto a reverse grounded FR4 laminate, has a very compact size of 19 mm×10 mm×5 mm. The impact of the user's body proximity on the radiation performance of the antenna is studied experimentally. The percentage total efficiency and gain of the antenna deteriorated by about 8.5% and 2 dB due to the proximity of the user's body. The proposed DRA showed better performance than that of resonant type of antennas when close to the user's body.
