THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANTENNA FOR INDOOR WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK APPLICATION

In wireless technology, one of the recently technologies used to have a good performance of antenna is Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA). The dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) consists of superior performance features such as it can be fabricated using a high dielectric constant material, covers wide range of frequency band: f = 0.7-35 GHz, exhibits high radiation efficiency (95%), excitable through different transmission lines and it can be fabricated in different shapes such as rectangular, cylindrical and hemispherical. The small size of the DRA makes it suitable element for antenna arrays. One of the DRA shapes that have been considered is cylindrical shape. The two elements of CDRA array design which feeding by rectangular aperture coupled slots is computed and analysed by using CST Microwave studio and Agilent network analyser.
