Abstract

In the present work two element magneto-dielectric resonator antenna configuration, designed using two different magneto-dielectric (MD) materials, separated by a distance of quarter wavelength (λ/4) and half wavelength (λ/2) has proposed. These materials have been designed such that their temperature coefficient value approaches to zero. The microwave dielectric constant (εr) and permeability (μr) of both materials are calculated by Nicholson-Ross-Weir conversion technique and found to be 8.02, 1.64 and 10.47, 1.52, respectively. For the inter element separation of λ/4 and λ/2, the first resonant frequencies of proposed antenna are 5.75 GHz and 5.78 GHz and showing penta-directional and tri-directional radiation patterns characteristics respectively. This property can be utilized for the diversity scheme to mitigate the problem of fading.
