Abstract
A dielectric resonator antenna that has active components on a selected surface. Also a feed element in the form of a slot may be formed on the surface to efficiently generate the proper resonance mode within the bulk of the dielectric resonator antenna. The entire dielectric resonator antenna may be flip-chip mounted onto a suitable microwave substrate.
