Abstract:
A systematic study on an eco-design of Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) is done for the first time by considering the environment. The developed DRA is an eco-designed antenna which uses less material and energy; due to this the environmental impact is reduced. The proposed DRA geometry decreases the DRA dielectric material by 52% as compared to conventional rectangular DRA with compact volume of 6.48 cm3. The antenna covers most of the wireless system like 5.2 and 5.8 GHz WLAN/Wi-MAX applications.
