| Abstract: |
|
A compact multiband antenna system using a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented in this paper. Designed to be integrated in a tablet, it is not only heavily miniaturized (λ0/15×λ0/38×λ0/94 at 800 MHz), but also able to cover three frequency bands for different wireless applications (DVB-H, WiFi and WiMAX). Since a reconfigurable radiation pattern can result in an improved quality and reliability of wireless links, two DRAs have been integrated to implement this feature on the three frequency bands. These improvements are demonstrated by the presentation of the correlation coefficient and the effective diversity gain, both measured in a reverberation chamber. The experimental measurements are in very good agreement with the simulated ones. Good overall performances are obtained, and the requirements of all three applications are perfectly met. Moreover, the antenna operative frequencies are independent of the ground plane dimensions, making this system a very good candidate for all kinds of mobile devices. |
