Abstract

The paper presents an experimental investigation of a cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with a conducting strip loaded on its top surface enabling circular polarisation. A simple 50Ω microstrip transmission line excites the antenna. The reflection, polarisation, and radiation characteristics of the antenna are studied. The antenna exhibits circular polarisation with an axial ratio (AR) < 3 dB over a bandwidth of 3.14% and a beam width of 60°
