Abstract
A brief review of research on dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented in this paper. Basic characteristics of DRA and its comparison with microstrip patch antenna are discussed. Different types of DRAs, excitation mechanisms, various bandwidth enhancement schemes, and isolation improvement techniques are also discussed in this paper. The recent inventions associated with DRA are also included.
