Development of Antenna for Outdoor Wireless Application

The project describes a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) design using cylindrical
shape of DRA (CDRA) with microstrip feed technique method. Due to current
transmission of data via point-to-point antenna are required for long distance, a high
gain antenna is one of the solution to the problem. Therefore, the usage of CDRA
may result in low loss compare to other shape such as rectangular. The microstrip
shall give offer more freedom in impedance matching which is not available to other
excitation modes. The project objectively investigates and designs the antenna (DRA)
for WLAN application with a high gain. The antenna design are fabricated and tested
for their performance. The design of DRA shall be under scope of frequency at
5.6GHz and gain of 10dBi above. The design simulations are conducted using
Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software and tested by Agilent Network
Analyzer.
