In this paper, a wideband circularly polarized cylindrical tinsupe shaped dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with simple microstrip feed network has been designed and investigated.The proposed design uses dual vertical microstrip lines arranged in a perpendicular fashion to excite fundamental orthogonal hybrid HExIIδ and HEyIIδ modes in the cylindrical DR.The Phase quadrature relationships between orthogonal modes have been attained by varying corresponding microstrips heights.
To ratify the simulation results, an antenna prototype is fabricated and measured.Measured input reflection coefficient and axial ratio bandwidth (at Φ = 0°, θ = 0°) of 30.37% (2.
82-3.83 GHz) and 24.6% (2.
75-3.52 GHz) the official playboy bunny gold rabbit head zippo lighter has been achieved, respectively.This antenna design achieves an average gain of 5.
5 dBi and radiation efficiency of above 96% over operational frequency band.Justifiable agreement between simulated and fabricated antenna results are obtained.
