Abstract
A dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with hexagonal geometry for WLAN applications is proposed. The antenna is excited with a simple 50 Ω microstrip transmission line. The proposed antenna produces an impedance bandwidth of 105 MHz from 2.395 to 2.50 GHz, which covers the 2.4 GHz wireless local area networks band (WLAN: 2.4–2.485 GHz). The radiation patterns are measured and are found to be omnidirectional. An average gain of 5.4 dBi is measured in the operating band.
