Shape Synthesis of Multi-mode Dielectric Resonator Antennas Using Characteristic Modes
Keywords:
characteristic modes, dielectric resonator antennas, multi-mode antennas, shape synthesisAbstract
This paper demonstrates a shape synthesis technique for multi-mode dielectric resonator antennas using binary genetic algorithm and characteristic mode analysis. The cost function for the synthesis process is defined from characteristic modal parameters, such as modal quality factors and self-resonance frequencies. Since only modal parameters are involved in the cost function, the shape synthesis process is made independent of feeds. In the paper, we demonstrate the shape synthesis of a DRA with three self-resonant modes at 3 GHz.
