Abstract
A dielectric resonator antenna, DRA, includes: an electrically conductive ground structure; a plurality of volumes of dielectric materials disposed on the ground structure comprising N volumes, N being an integer equal to or greater than 3, disposed to form sequential layered volumes V, i being an integer from 1 to N, wherein volume Vforms an innermost first volume, wherein a successive volume Vforms a layered shell disposed over and at least partially embedding volume V, wherein volume Vat least partially embeds all volumes Vto V; wherein a portion of the dielectric material of volume Vbifurcates at least a portion of volumes Vto V; wherein the plurality of volumes of dielectric materials has a first effective dielectric constant along a first geometrical path, and has a second effective dielectric constant along a second geometrical path that is lower than the first effective dielectric constant.
