Abstract

A finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach is proposed in order to obtain suitable criteria for the design of a four-element dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) array. The numerical analysis is focused on the study of the electromagnetic coupling phenomena arising between DRA fed by a microstrip-slot transition. Scattering parameters behavior and radiation patterns are determined by taking advantage of the geometrical symmetry of the structure, analyzing only one half or one quarter of the entire domain through two or four separate FDTD runs.
