This book covers resonating modes inside device and gives insights into antenna design, impedance and radiation patterns. It discusses how higher-order modes generation and control impact bandwidth and antenna gain. The text covers new approaches in antenna design by investigation hybrid modes, H_Z and E_Z fields available simultaneously, and analysis and modelling on modes with practical applications in antenna design. The book will be prove useful to students, researchers and professionals alike.

Today, more and more antenna engineers are viewing the Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) as a preferable alternative to conventional low-gain designs because of several attractive features, including high radiation, light weight, small size and low profile. This practical resource presents complete, up-to-date details on DRAs in a single volume. The book provides professionals with clear guidance on the mode of operation and radiation behavior of DRAs, the main methods of excitation, and the major advances in DRA technology. This hands-on reference equips engineers with simple equations and graphs that help them rapidly design DRAs, without the need for complex analytical or numerical calculations. Numerous design examples are included to give practitioners a sense of the versatility that DRAs afford.

This book introduces 5 key feeding techniques such as coaxial probe, microstrip, conformal strip, aperture, and coplanar waveguide and covers different shapes of dielectric resonator antennas leading to improvement in circularly polarized (CP) performance. It introduces advancements in the field of dielectric resonator antennas and dilectric resonator antennas (DRAs). Five different types of feeding techniques (i.e. coaxial probe, microstrip, conformal strip, aperture, and coplanar waveguide) are described for obtaining CP followed by two modified shaped DRA (sector DRAs). Throughout this book, rectangular and circular with their modified shapes of the dielectric resonator are utilized, providing differing degrees of freedom as well as different variable parameters, including length, width, height, radius, aspect ratio and dielectric constant, which are tuned to obtain the desired antenna parameters.

The book presents a collection of peer-reviewed articles from the International Conference on Innovations in Cyber Physical Systems (ICICPS 2020). The conference provided opportunities for the presentation of new research results and discussion about them. It was also an opportunity to generation of new ideas in all CPS aspects, including theory, tools, applications, systems, test-beds and field deployments. The range of topics explored is wide, and covers security, control, optimization, machine learning, game theory, mechanism design, mobile and cloud computing, model-based design, verification, data mining/analytics, signal processing, and human-in-the-loop shared or supervisory control. This book will be useful to researchers, students, industrialist, developers, and practitioners alike.

The use of dielectric resonator as a resonant antenna was proposed in 1983. Due to the absence of metallic loss, the dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is highly efficient when operated at millimetre wave frequencies. With the use of high dielectric constant material, the DRA can also be used as a small and low profile antenna operated at low microwave frequencies. Low cost dielectric materials are now easily available commercially, encouraging more antenna engineers to design communication systems with DRAs.

The book contains high quality papers presented in the Fifth International Conference on Innovations in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ICIECE 2016) held at Guru Nanak Institutions, Hyderabad, India during 8 and 9 July 2016. The objective is to provide the latest developments in the field of electronics and communication engineering specially the areas like Image Processing, Wireless Communications, Radar Signal Processing, Embedded Systems and VLSI Design. The book aims to provide an opportunity for researchers, scientists, technocrats, academicians and engineers to exchange their innovative ideas and research findings in the field of Electronics and Communication Engineering.
