Compound Dielectric Resonator Antenna

Abstract
A dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with the resonator body formed, or compounded, by multiple building blocks is proposed. The approach gives flexibility in adjusting the resonator's shape to control input impedance and resonance frequency of the antenna. A simplified method of attaching the resonator's building blocks to the grounded dielectric substrate allowed for reduced fabrication complexity and manual reconfigurability of this compound DRA (cDRA). Several cDRAs with variable resonator sizes were studied theoretically and experimentally.
