Summary:This paper presents a design of a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) for millimeter-wave applications. An electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure is used in the antenna design to enhance the antenna characteristics. The simulated with and without EBG results of the designed antenna is calculated to show the parameters such as impedance bandwidth, reflection coefficient, and gain. The parameters of the proposed antenna have improved after the periodic unit cell structure (EBG) introduction. The obtained reflection coefficients of the proposed antenna with and without EBG structure are −30.5 dB and −20.8 dB, respectively. In the presence of an EBG structure antenna shows a peak gain of 25 dBi, which is higher than the without EBG (8 dBi) structure. The designed antenna resonates at 33 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 700 MHz. The Ansys HFSS software is used to design and simulate the proposed antenna.
