Abstract
There is disclosed a dielectric resonator antenna adapted to resonate in an EHresonance mode, and also a method for the manufacture thereof. The desired resonance mode is achieved by careful positioning of a dielectric resonator () on a grounded substrate (), the resonator () being fed by way of a microstrip feed line () and a slot () in the grounded substrate (). Because the EHresonance mode has nulls in a direction of longitudinal extension of the dielectric resonator (), a plurality of antenna can be placed end-to-end so as to form an array with reduced coupling between adjacent antennas and with vertical polarisation, which is desirable for mobile communications applications.
