Dr. Ahmed A. Kishk, Principal Investigator, along with Co-Principal Investigators Drs. Allen W. Glisson, and Alexander Yakovlev, recently learned that the Department of Defense had awarded them a grant through the Defense Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR) Program to continue and expand their ongoing research on dielectric resonators antennas. This research project proposes to investigate the development of new dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) with wideband performance and to study the performance of these radiators in an antenna array environment. In this study, the effect of the mutual coupling on array performance will be investigated and compared to the commonly used microstrip antenna arrays.
