1. A dielectric resonator antenna system comprising:

  • a) a grounded substrate;

    b) a dielectric resonator having a dielectric constant k disposed a predetermined distance from the grounded substrate;

    c) feed means for transferring energy into and from said dielectric resonator; and

    ,d) a thin dielectric substrate having a thickness of less than approximately λ

    /10 and, having a dielectric constant of approximately 2k or greater, the thin dielectric substrate being disposed between the feed means and the dielectric resonator for enhancing coupling therebetween.
