Recycled Ceramic Waste Dielectric Resonator Antenna for Broadband Application

This work proposes the design of a cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) developed from ceramic waste from bricks and roof tiles. The chosen geometry was cylindrical, and the material was sintered at a temperature of 1050° C. The DRA was fed using an aperture-coupled feeding method. Simulations were performed to obtain the return loss, realized gain, total efficiency, and front-to-back ratio (FBR) of the DRAs with and without slot tilt. The proposed antenna is intended for applications 5G systems in the Sub-6 GHz band.
