Research Projects

1. DRA excitation using Current Ribbon technique: Investigation of higher order mode

excitation of Cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) using current

ribbon technique. This work also involved design of novel antenna feeding

techniques and their experimental verification.

2. Investigation of Defected Ground Plane structure: First part of this work involved

study of new excitation techniques of cylindrical DRAs using defected ground

plane. Second aspect involved investigation of various feeding mechanism designs

and their verification via experimentation and software simulations.
