title = "Offset Aperture-Coupled Double-Cylinder Dielectric Resonator Antenna with Extended Wideband",
abstract = "A compact dielectric resonator antenna for ultrawideband vehicular communication applications is proposed. Two cylindrical dielectric resonators are asymmetrically located with respect to the center of an offset rectangular coupling aperture, through which they are fed. Optimizing the design parameters results in an impedance bandwidth of 21%, covering the range from 5.9 to 7.32 GHz in the lower band and a 53% relative bandwidth from 8.72 to 15 GHz in the upper band. The maximum achieved gain is 12 dBi. Design details of the proposed antenna and the results of both simulations and experiment are presented and discussed.",
