Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of communication, in particular to an eighth spherical shell-shaped dielectric resonator antenna.

Background

In recent years, wireless communication applications are becoming more and more widespread, and terminal devices also show a diversified trend. As an important component of transmitting and receiving signals in a wireless communication system, the antenna has increasingly high requirements for various performance indexes such as efficiency, gain, directivity, bandwidth and the like, and material and portability thereof, so as to be capable of adapting to different environments.

Since there is no surface wave loss in the DRA (dielectric resonator antenna), the DRA can maintain high radiation efficiency at both low and high frequencies when the loss tangent angle is sufficiently small. At the same time, DRAs have many distinct advantages over other antennas:

(1) structurally, DRA belongs to a three-dimensional structure, and the dielectric resonator is flexible in shape design and typically has shapes of a rectangle, a cylinder, a circular truncated cone and the like.

(2) In order to meet certain specific requirements, the dielectric constant can be flexibly adjusted, and the size and the shape of the dielectric resonator antenna can be adjusted to finally obtain the dielectric resonator antenna meeting the requirements.

(3) The DRA has various feeding modes, such as microstrip direct feeding, coaxial probe feeding, coplanar waveguide feeding, slot coupling feeding and the like.

(4) The DRA has no metal surface, the surface wave loss is extremely low, the rest surfaces are radiation surfaces except a ground surface with a reflecting plate, and the radiation efficiency is extremely high.

(5) The DRA is relatively small in size, relatively light in weight, convenient to process and easy for integration of other planar circuits.

Thus, DRAs find application in many communication systems and devices.

The 5G technology is more mature now, and it is necessary to design a dielectric resonator antenna which can be applied to a 5G system.
